Hi there all,

A simple question as I bought these years ago, never used them and am now wondering... are these 'HP' steel? 

Many thanks!

It says High Velocity Steel on the front of the box. These should not be used unless your gun is proofed for them

Thanks! I was unsure weather 'High Velocity' was a sort of marketing slogan. My experience of buying steel is limited to that very box approx 13yrs ago :)

I was unsure weather HP are marked only as HP.

Thanks for the help, I'll give em away sometime!

I'll double check the box and see. Im sticking 'em through a Beretta 682 Gold E. Not an ancient gun but don't wanna blow ot up ha ha! Id obviously change her chokes down to a half at the tightest. 

I used to have half an idea with proof marks etc as I was partial to an old English gun or two, but this is so long ago I've completely forgot nowadays. When i buy the usual clay cartridges, i don't have to give it a thought.

if its got a fleur de lis or says  high performance on the box  it requires  the higher proof, if not its a standard steel load. its as simple as that. all the big uk names also stamp each individual cartridge high performance so that its still a warning if you mix them into a cartridge bag

those are a standard steel load,  hull do sell a cartridge called "steel game extra" and theyre high performance and are marked with the fleur de lis but those youve got are a standard load

 

mental how often this comes up still, and its mental how many comment with duff info.

Just shoot them you are fine!

682 Gold E is HP flyr de lys so fine for 3” mag steel.

Half choke or less, just go and shoot and don’t make yourself look silly but emailing hull etc 

I'll do just that I rekon. Thanks for the help everyone, much appreciated
