For what it is worth, Practical Sailor has a low opinion of stainless steel on your ground tackle; Particularly when mixed with the other metals.
Beware there are different ratings of shackles despite the same size. As I recall a class 'B' is a higher rating. For a 3/8ths shackle the load rating is 2 tons. For a normal class 'A' the rating is 1 ton.
