Occasionally there will be a 10 Gauge shotgun for sale in your local sporting goods shop -if you don't see one, ask the clerk for a catalog- or possibly a pawn shop. If you are lucky, you may find an ol' double-barreled 10-Gauge, but some of them have "Damascus twist" barrels and can't handle modern loads.
My browning magnum 12 gauge shotgun is jamming--it is not ejecting the chamber shell?
The gun is probably set for heavy loads with the friction rings, and the loads are too light. Remove the forend. Inside the wood forearm may be a diagram to show how the bevels and brass friction ring should be set for light vs heavy loads. If no diagram, go to Browning .com and there you can find a diagram, but remember to find the Mag 12, it is different from a standard A-5. When shooting heavy 3" loads, set the rings to heavy. When shooting 2 3/4 lighter loads set for light.

Can you shoot steel shot in a Model 1200 Winchester shotgun with a full choke?
Yes.In all modern shells, the shot is packed in a plastic wad which keeps the shot in a tight group as it travels down the barrel. The shot never actually touches the sides of the barrel.So long as you don't try running magnum loads thru a gun that isn't rated for them, you won't have a problem.
