islandgun Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Iv'e recently been given some hevi shot 3s 135 per oz, its a uniform shape round with a ridge easily crushed with pliers. Looking at previous posts I believe its hevi shot II BASC say it can be treated as lead, Q can I use through my full choke 10 bore proofed 1200Kp/cm (1176 bar ?) but without the fluer-de-lys stamp. sorry to bring this up again but I would just like to finally clarify before loading, also does anyone know of any recipes for the same,cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgun Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) interestingly? the shot count (131) for 28g of UK 3s is approx the same as uk lead in the same size according to the Hallowell & co shot size table. I did recount several times Edited December 17, 2013 by islandgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgun Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I may be the only one replying to this post so for me and anyone else who may be interested Heavy shot II is At least as heavy as lead ( heavier!) May be used with older doubles Does not require steel proof Does not fracture As far as I know not available to the home-loader in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 sounds like ITX shot. but most likely isnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beretta28g Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 TBH mate i dont know. there is some load data around for it, Clay and game list some data. From what ive heard, it is high pressure load, but dont quote me. The other question to ask is do Lyvale load the hevi shot in 10 bore carts at the factory?

islandgun Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 sounds like ITX shot. but most likely isnt. Its not ITX and I suspect not as heavy as C&G heavy, I dont think they do 10bore cartridges in hevi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Its not ITX and I suspect not as heavy as C&G heavy, I dont think they do 10bore cartridges in hevi No-one does over here. The Americans have it so much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
