No.
yup, hasn't hurt my two in all the years it has been mandatory on waterfowl
Sort of like driving your 1940's Ford at interstate speeds. Will do just fine for a while, but eventually something is going to be damaged. Newer guns use harder steel for the barrels and even they get more wear from steel shot than from the old lead shot or newer (more expensive) soft shot.
You can shoot steel out of the shotgun as long as the barrel has not been backbored. The steel shot remain in the wad cup of the shot until it hit the choke at the end of the barrel, so the shot does not actually touch the sides of the barrel. (this applies to all shotgun barrels).
Make Sure your Chokes are not FULL, but Mod or Improved if your going to shoot steel
One can shoot steel shot from any shotgun. But there's a catch. (Why is there always a catch?) Be advised that steel shot can cause damage to the barrel of the weapon. It (the steel shot) is much harder than lead or other soft alloys used in shot making. Steel shot is much more environmentally friendly than lead shot (which is why is came into being), but how much does it jack up the weapon in which it's used? Advice from a gun smith or even from a knowledgeable gun dealer should sufficiently illuminate the issue to permit arriving at a workable decision as to whether or not to use steel shot.
You will have to call the maker of the weapon to find out.
yes but steel shot will eventually ruined the barrel lead will not
No. Absolutely not.
