Peely Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) Hi All, I've been searching through all of the past posts on Steel proofing guns and I am confused - to say the least!!! I have a Lanber (I think it is an old 2097 with the scrolling along the side of the action??). I have had a look at the markings on the barrels and was wondering if anybody could help me. There is a marking that says '1200Bares', one with the letters 'BP' and one that looks like a shield with the letters 'CH' inside of it. Does this mean anything to anyone?? Just to add a curve ball in, I spoke to a guy at NWSS and he told me I can use any gun with steel as long as it is with a choke no tighter than 1/2... I have a box of Gamebore Black Gold clay carts and a box of steel wildfowling carts - both of them say the proof needs to be better than 900kg/cm2 or 3 1/4 tons per square inch and nitro proofed. The only difference on the boxes is that the steel carts say don't use a tight choke. I've had a look on the Gamebore website and it say's that the steel cart I have is OK to use upto a size 4 in a 'standard' gun, from size 3 and bigger the gun needs to be steel proofed. I have a 32g size 4 cart, does this mean that my gun is OK to use with this cartridge? Also, what is a nitro proof?? Sorry for so many questions.. Thanks Peely Edited July 18, 2009 by Peely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveH Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 I have a Lanber 2097 and the paperwork that came with it said it was safe to use steel shot with up to 1/2 choke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
