Keith RW Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) Afternoon All Just been invited out for a couple of Duck drives on a local shoot but have only ever shot game and pigeon with lead loads through my 1980's Miroku previously and never used Steel loads. Question is what if anything is available in steel and that I can safely shoot though 1/4 & 3/4 barrels? , I'm sure this will been queried previously, with replies such as ok with light loads and no more than half choke etc but just asking what progress may have been made since changes in laws were introduced, just been looking at Eley steel pro eco so appears thing are constantly changing/improving. Are the obvious issues down to the fact that steel does not compress though choke restrictions and therefor I may need to go for a couple of boxes of tungsten/bismuth alternatives Edited January 12, 2020 by Keith RW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry78 Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Yes standard steel in your gun will be fine gamebore or Hull if you can get them should do the job good luck and enjoy yourself at the ducks 👍👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuke Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 3/4 might give a bad pattern since steel takes choke better, but safetywise you should be fine. /M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
