I'm fairly new to this forum and wonder if Winchester's AA "Low Recoil Low Noise Target Load" is acceptable in Fox fluid steel Krupp-Essen barrels? Not knowing the pressure, a box of 12ga, 2-3/4", 26 grams, 8 shot says the shells have 50% less recoil with a velocity of only 980 fps. Winchester's website doesn't mention pressures.
So....my question is, "Are these shell's pressures low enough for the Krupp steel barrels? I wonder how they compare to the RST shotshells.
The 1912, s/n 19889 AE grade Fox I have was my grandfather's. I know I hunted ducks and doves with this gun back in the '60s and surely must have used hi-brass shells. I know we talked about using modern shells in it but I recall all the shell boxes at that time seemed to only say do not use in Demascus(sp?) barrels.
Low Recoil/Low Noise Winchester shotshells?
Re: Low Recoil/Low Noise Winchester shotshells?
As long as there is no barrel wall thickness issues with the gun I would say they would be fine to shoot. If you are at all worried you can always order RST's but if those are readily available to you I would not worry about shooting them.

Re: Low Recoil/Low Noise Winchester shotshells?
Some years ago I had an odd experience with the Eley Hawk low noise, low velocity loads in my second generation B-Grade with light 4-weight barrels. The low velocity load shot off towards Jones in the left barrel! The right barrel they shot fine. With my one ounce 1200 fps loads both barrels shoot right on?!?
Share the knowledge

That IS weird.
OBTW, which way was Jones?
