Just stick any 2 3/4  steel load through it will be fine no matter what the chokes are all this tosh about no tighter than half is a load of rubbish 

It says no tighter than half on HP steel very often.

 

Gamebore super steel 32g 4's can be used through any gun (that is nitro proof) and any choke. 32g 3's are apparently classed as HP steel however and only supposed to go through HP steel proof guns.

I'd worry that steel shot won't be kind on the excellent chromed bores that Baikal shotguns have. If they still have chromed bores?

Thats what the plastic/fibre is for, no pellets really touches the barrels if it works as intended.

It works with regards to not being harmful to the gun but the pattern may be rubbish. Test it and see what it looks like.

You do know that 2,3/4" shells can still be HP pressures right? Baikals are built very solid though. Chrome bores have very little baring on steel shot usage. Its to protect from corrosion.

Two other minor ones in 12b.....

Speed over 425m/s = HP

Momentum over 12Ns = HP

 

Oh, yeah. These too. I forget. I just concentrate on internal ball.
