Bill what is your ten choked that you shoot the steel loads? I have a Beretta Silver Pigeon and I think it's choked F and F.

I would think with steel shot 3" shells would be good...they would hold more bullets of a bigger size shot needed when shooting steel insted of lead type pellets. They said to drop one or two shot sizes when shooting steel....the 3 incher would hold more of the bigger pellets. SXS ohio...(-:

No exception. As I said earlier in this thread, I have one too: 12 ga, 28", 3" chambers, IC/MOD. I never have, nor do I ever plan to, shoot 3" shells in it.

Joe, I think the key word in my post that Steve quoted is the word standard. Perhaps yours and other 3" non---SSS or SCC guns were an optional chambering. (??)

This post reminds me that the skeet chokes that came with my SCC gun are /should be ( I have'nt unpackaged them ) Skeet 1 and Skeet 2. As the universal ( American ) Skeet constriction is 0.005 ", what should I expect these 2 chokes to measure ? |

Tony, my SCC came to me with 6 original Winchoke screw-in chokes 2-SK (.003), 1-IC (.009), 1-M (.016), 1-IM (.019) and 1-F (.029). I bought two more Winchoke choke tubes for the gun, a CYL (.000) and an XF (.039). I never knew of a SK2 as being available, but I'm beginning to believe that with Parker Reproductions, just as with the original Parker Bros. guns, you can never say never.

side by side some body has informed you wrong on the steel shot..when using steel shot they recommend using 2 to 3 sizes bigger in the steel shot than you do with lead...thus you have less pellets using steel shot..thats why the 3 1/2 inch 12 ga came about to hold more steel shot...1 3/4 ounce of steel is about all you can pack in a 3 1/2 inch 12 ga shell..and you can easily load 2 1/4 ounce of lead and more if you can stand the kick... charlie

My 12 ga Steel Shot Special does have 3 inch chambers and it is marked
2 3/4 & 3 inch. As I understand, there were less than 300 of these SSS made. Though it has chrome lined barrels, I will not insult the birds with steel shot and have shot only 3 inch Bismuth in for ducks, geese, and sandhill crane. |
