old psi specs for an old Stevens gun, leads?
 

any leads on how i find out what psi pressures my old shotgun can handle? anybody know who manufactured Stevens shotguns? Kent Gameloads say their 2.75" turkey load is rated at 10,800 psi.

I always thought that Stevens made Stevens firearms, but maybe I' m wrong. Do you have a model number on that shotgun, it' s a 12ga right?

made by stevens but figured they had been bought by now and those type of records would be in different hands by now.

it' s a model 860B

I believe that Stevens Arms is owned by Savage since about 1920 or something like that . I think the gun you have was made in 1950 but I can' t find a model 860 so that could be wrong . I would suggest you take the gun to a gunsmith and have it checked if your concerned about your safety useing turkey loads .

my mistake, it' s a model 820B.

i' ll send Savage an email and see what they say. i' ll also ask my gunsmith to see what he says. thanks.
