Maximum chamber pressure 3" .410? #122813 11/22/08 05:49 PM

I was going to shoot them from an old Iver Johnson Skeeter, and I was wondering what your opinion might be of the safety of doing this? Thanks, Pete

European (CIP) proof pressure of 850 kg per sq. cm. (BAR) = 13,920 psi proof pressure= 10,730 psi service pressure (SAAMI) Last edited by revdocdrew; 11/22/08 08:22 PM. https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home
