RE: steel out of factory chokes?
on a waterfowl forum a guy recently posted a picture of his 870 fixed full choke barrel split open like a banana peel. says that he's shot steel shot out of it for a while but it finally caught up with him.
it is my understanding that you can shoot steel shot safetly out of any modified or larger diameter choke tube ...don't shoot steel out of a full.
i recently purchased a super black eagle and the modified and improved cylinder chokes are stamped with steel ok but the warning says don't shoot steel from the full.
