HDAV Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Proof marks will tell you plenty but why the need for 3" chambers? Fowling? Foxes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Well unless its steel proof I wouldn't bother might as well spend the money on Hevi shot depends what else you own and how many bangs a year you want to put through it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mat Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Chances are it wont be steel shot proof, if you're going to be doing alot of fowling for many years to come you might as well buy something that is steel shot proof!
