N1ck8 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Hi I have been using some Gamebore Super Steel 32g 70mm 4shot cartridges in my old £60 S/S to shoot some pigeons as i was given a few boxes by a friend. Can anyone tell me if im safe to use these in my Browning Maxus sporting with a 1/4 choke which the gun came with..? I have to say these cartridges are great at dropping birds out the sky and would love to be able to use them in the semi auto. And they are cheap Thanks Edited February 18, 2012 by N1ck8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gemini52 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Any help please? You should be fine to use them with quarter choke,just do not go over half,steel does not compress like lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shot shot Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I'd be more worried about the barrels on your old sbs tbh The maxus will digest anything you can fit in it (assuming you haven't got the 3" version) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomaddy525 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 i fed mine a diet of winchester drylok 31/2 inch steel through my extra full extended turkey choke for the pinks and its no worse for wear! it didnt half bring the pinks down!

Fib new Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 As mentionned earlier: I'd be more worried in using the gamebore steel cartridges in the old gun. If these are the same as I use -gamebore super steel in no. 3,4&5- them they are suitable for newer guns proofed for minimum of 1370bar. I shoot these all the time from an old browning gold semi auto. I like to shoot steel from à 1/2choked barrel -this is about full choke for steel, as steel patterns much tighter in comparrison with lead.
