Hello,
Been a while since my last post but I have a question.
Local small shop was closing their doors and I purchased a few boxes of Fiocchi Optima Specific high Velocity 3 1/8 Dram equiv 1 1/8 oz #8.
Plan was to shoot it in my refurbished 1956 A5.
Is this ammunition too hot for my old gun?
I do not think so but better safe than sorry.

fn16ga,
Thanks for the reply. That is good to hear. This gun has been in the family for almost 60 years and did not want to have a problem over a box of ammunition.
My grandfather would use this A5 for deer hunting in southern Arkansas using slugs and buckshot so I felt that this ammunition would not be a problem. Better safe than sorry.
Come on Sept 1 for dove opening day.
