RE: Steel shot in older gun
If you have a full choke in one of the pipes, don't do it. It's not worth the risk. Guys do it, but I've seen barrels blown apart and on some pumps, ripped right off. Steel does not have the give that lead does. So when it goes through the choke, it's like shooting a plugged barrel. Get the full choke reamed out to a modified. Again, since steel does not give, the shot pattern through a mod is similar to that of lead through a full. good luck.
