the answer would be brand specific, 12 gauge refers to the shell diameter, and 3 inch the length, inside will be divided into propellant and projectile, some may have more propellant leaving less room for projectiles but will be more powerful, some may have less propellant, in favour of more projectile at a decreased range.
What else can I help you with?
When was FN Auto5 serial 1114xx made is the caliber 67.5 or 70mm and can you use steel or heavishot?
1932. You are probably asking about the shell length, not caliber. A 16 gauge of this vintage was probably chambered for 2 9/16 inch (67.5 mm) shells but may have been modified to 2 3/4 (70 mm). I THINK all 12 gauge A5's had 2 3/4 inch chambers. A gunsmith probably wouldn't even charge you for measuring the chamber. Let him advise you on the use of steel or synthetic shot after he has examined the gun.
What is an expended shell casing?

Is it okay to shoot steel shot or hard shot from a 1950's JC Higgins 12 gauge?
To my knowledge, steel shot is a relatively new development, and it is necessary to use it in shotguns of recent manufacture that were built to handle it. In my opinion, the steel in the barrel of a 1950 vintage shotgun, which was 30 or 40 years before the advent of steel shot, would be too soft. Accelerated wear would probably be the best you could expect. Using steel shot in a gun that old would be like using rocket fuel in a vintage propeller plane. It just wasn't built to handle it. That's my opinion, anyway. Good luck.
Is there a maximum shell length for a single shot Iver Johnson 410 shotgun?

Overloading a shotgun with shells that are too long can be dangerous and may damage the firearm.
Can a Stevens 12 gauge Model 95 shotgun accept steel shot?
If you are referring to the single-shot Stevens 95 with the push-botton lock release on the side of the receiver, the gun should be structurally sound enough for steel shot HOWEVER most of these were supplied with full choke barrels. You are going to find that using larger size steel (#1 and greater) will not give decent patterns out of that choke, and, over time, will actually deform the choked section of the muzzle. If you are referring to the antique Model 95 with the top-lever, the answer is absolutely not - period. sales@countrygunsmith.net
