Hi
Ive got a mugica eibar sxs 12g that ive been having great fun decimating possums with and wanted to try some buckshot out for using on peacocks.
My problem is i bought a couple of boxs of clever mirage buckshot and some 4 shot and noticed it says "max 1050 bar" on the shells and not sure if these will be safe to shoot.
The barrel is marked 1000 kp/cm2
1360gmos
X1
Any help would be appreciated and if anyone has some info on the gun that would be great.
Cheers

The units are equivalent 1 kp/cm2=1 bar so the shells are 5% over what your barrel is marked. As to if its safe, I don't know enough to tell you for sure that it would be safe to shoot in your shotgun. May be better to look for some lower powered ammo though a proofed shotgun would likely hold up to such a slight overload.
 
Thanks
I might just find some lower power shells and wait until i get a newer steel shot capable gun.
