BaltoCoHunter Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Just bought a new Nova. I have a 12 year old box of Federal Copper plated steel shot shells. Can I safely shoot these in my new Nova without damaging the barrel? Quote

Can I safely shoot these in my new Nova without damaging the barrel? Yes as long as you use the chokes marked IC or MOD but not the full choke. Quote
BaltoCoHunter Posted November 10, 2009 Author Posted November 10, 2009 Thanks. So just treat it like standard steel shot? Any thought on copper-plated shot for hunting geese? Any idea why did Federal stopped making copper-platted? Back in the day this was the best stuff to use (12-15 years ago). I thought that the copper added weight and density. Maybe it became too expensive to produce. Quote
