Steel Shot In My New Bullpup

Post by Blaine »

Several years ago I got some 12ga 3" Magnum BBB, and BB at WallyWorld for real cheap.
The ATI Bullpup comes with three choke tubes.
I wonder if the steel shot will be harmful to them? I'd like to use full choke with them. :?

I'm no expert but I don't think it would be good to use anything tighter than the modified choke. maybe call ATI ? Good Luck.

Blaine, Modified for lead , is Full for steel, choke wise.After a "number" of rounds, steel will peen out the choke and threads. Eventually it will be hard to put choke in and out. I have no idea how many rounds that would take.
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres

Imp Cyl it is, then....I've got several dozen 00 lead loads, too...this isn't going to be a plinker, but I thought the steel BBB loads would be a good way to put a hundred and fifty or so rounds thru it to see how it runs, and break it in a piece.....

I read a review of it the other day, but darned if I can find it this morning.

I would think that thing stuffed full of mini-shells would be a real hoot!

The whole point of the one I got was that it used mags, not ammo tubes...We can't have a loaded long gun in the rig in WA, but, it's ok to have the loaded mags close at hand.

I know, I read the original post. :roll:
But not all of us have the same problem, or the same roll for a shotgun like that to fill.
I did do some looking today and there are several already on gunbroker with prices all over the map.
I'd rather have a Benelli M4 if I'm going that price range. :wink:
