    It's not weight, but pressure.

    1200bar is ur max rating. I have aRC4's No 6 3 ibch that are 110 as far as I remember amd 3/0's similar pressure or maybe higher

    RCs have it printed on them, only Eley here at the mo and they don't.
    Some websites state I on them.

    Just ask Ur RFD if unsure

    i Cant find a pressure rating on my shotgun, it has the chamber size and a stamp that says '1460kgi' or something like that. Would that be it?

    That would indicate kilogram/inch which is a bit strange because most of the time metric and imperial units are not mixed. If yours says 1460kg, but please do check, I would be quite certain it's 1460kg per centimeter square which is 1460 bar.
