AdamSouthEast Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I've looked everywhere for a simple answer to this to no avail, so hoping some knowledgable PW'er can shed some light. I'm doing a whole day of varied pest control this week and wanted to pack something on the off chance of fox, I have some 70mm Victory Mini Magnum 40g No.3 in my assorted bag of cartridges, which would be a decent one to use I'm guessing. It says "For magnum tested guns" on the side of them. The gun I'm using is 1370 bar, 70mm O/U. Basically I just wanted to make sure this was safe to use, I gathered from the BASC website that magnum tested was 1200bar+ but the wording was vague so wasn't 100% sure. Any advice would be great. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. if you are correct, that proof pressure is the highest proof, (except for fabarms 1600bar). so it is suitable for HP ammunition too. does it have the fleur de lyse mark?. if the cartridges do not say "1050bar" or "HP" then they will be just normal sub 740bar shells.

rovercoupe Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I picked up some alphamax 42g bb 70mm the other day and after I got home realized they had a magnum warning on them and all my guns are 850 bar or 31/4tons proof so I could have blown myself up with these, would make more sense to put one standard on them not one for steel and one for lead.
