Keys Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I was hoping I could pick the brains of some of you Browning experts. I have recently purchased a 2002 Browning Ultra XS 12G with Midas Chokes (Invector Plus 30"). I have encountered some confusion as to what type of steel shot I am able to use with it. Having checked the barrel numerous times, I am unable to find any Fleur de Lys symbol; though the Browning website states that the Ultra XS 12G with Midas chokes is proofed for high performance steel. http://browning.eu/products/mresult.php?group1=1&group2=1&group3=106&submod=A-XSSPR My gun differs slightly from the model pictured on the Browning website as mine does not have an adjustable comb, though is still of the same generation.

dodeer Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 What length chambers is it? 70mm I expect. If so use any 32g commercial steel load, you can also get 35g 70mm Steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I own one but cant help you I'm afraid I have fired steel through mine, but that was back in the day when steel first came out as a cheaper alternative I've never fired the newer hi performance steel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keys Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Thanks for your replies! :-) It has 70mm chambers. I've shot steel through it before - 32g 4s. I only ask because my step-dad and I share cartridges: we shoot with the same syndicate and share storage facilities. He would like to buy some high performance loads and have us both use them - providing its safe for me to do so! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 70mm means no HP steel...... Can't have flier de llys unless 76mm chambers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
