Ducks over the rice.
      #191800 - 14/10/11 03:17 PM

Well it looks like I'm going on a duck shoot on the rice paddocks of Northern Victoria next weekend

Can somebody tell if steel shot will be usable in my '70's vintage Brno sxs choked full & full?

Cheers,
Mark.

Hi
Steel is not recommended tighter than modified chokes and also not recommended for older sxs shotguns. But on the other hand i have used small size (number 4 and smaller) steelshots on my baikal sxs without problems.
Full choke cuold do quite bad patterns with steel so try it first.
There was test in one hunting magazine some years ago where they shoot over a thousand steelshot round through older shotguns. There were some slight changes on chokes but they can't find any significant changes on patterns and all three shotgun survived.

Still not sure if where I'll be shooting allows lead shot or not. Bismuth is very expensive here.....if you can get it. This is a last minute planned trip taking place next weekend.

Thanks guys.

Mark.
