Tickerman Posted Thursday at 06:41 Report Share Posted Thursday at 06:41 Anyone use steel shot through their silenced shotguns? I’ve a silenced 20b over and under and was looking at using steel shot through it, but wasn’t sure how the eco wads would behave travelling through the silencer baffles. Any experiences?

I’m not aware of a subsonic steel load although you could ask the manufacturer welcome to pigeon watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberisle Posted Thursday at 12:37 Report Share Posted Thursday at 12:37 I have used subsonic TSS loads using TPS wads in a 410 hushpower and it been fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tickerman Posted Thursday at 14:48 Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 14:48 Thanks all. It was more just for using standard cartridges rather than subsonic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one way to find out. Bear in mind, the slits on the eco wads are moulded like a lead wad, not cut as most (all) other steel wads are, so pellets can sneak through the gaps as happened to me.

retromlc Posted Saturday at 08:42 Report Share Posted Saturday at 08:42 I remember my investarm 20b O/U was full and full, check your gun as that might be an issue, I'd also breakdown the silencer to clean any wad out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunny_blaster Posted Saturday at 13:26 Report Share Posted Saturday at 13:26 I’ve got a Investarm 20g O/U hushpower. I’ve put 1000’s of steel through it and it’s been fine. I’d use it for all of my pigeon shooting if I could shoot it as well as my normal gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellors Posted Saturday at 14:22 Report Share Posted Saturday at 14:22 The op doesn't say which moderated gun he is using. But yes I've put thousands of steel factory and home loads through my invest arm 20 gauge. Only thing i would advise is steer clear of lyvale they have a plastic base wad which gets trimmed going up the barrel and fills the moderator quickly.
