grimey121uk Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I have a Winchester SX3 (12ga) with a 3 1/2" chamber, looking at the instructions there is no specifications mentioned around the loads it can use. Interestingly the Hatsan I have does specify the loads in both grams and cartridge pressure. Maybe some of the stamps/hallmarks on the barrel may provide a clue? If anyone could shed some light i would be grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mat Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 An SX3 will handle any cartridges made for 12 bore that is available! It should say 12/89 underneath the barrel and the proof will be 1370 bar i think! That is the longest chamber and highest proof avaible, so pick any cartridge and fire away!

WinchesterDave Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Yep, it is steel proofed to 1370 bar so you can put anything through it. Just nothing tighter than half choke when using steel mate. Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mat Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 My remington full choke says it is for lead or steel, i certainly wouldnt put steel through anything over half just to be on the safe side! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinchesterDave Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Same here mate! I'll stick to 1/4 or 1/2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from Hull comp x 21g.... Guy at our club turned up with one yesterday and was saying how it fires "anything" I gave him a couple of the aformentioned, fired 1 didnt cycle, gave me the other back saying "it usually fires anything" just saying...
