It depends on what type of steel is used to make the shot and what the size of the shot is. The smaller the size, the more it will weight.
Steel shots are a versatile cleaning product used for a variety of industrial applications. The tiny beads are used to smooth and polish surfaces, remove rust and scale, and clean off weld slag.

"Can a Winchester Model 50 full choke be used with steel shot?" I have a Winchester Model 50, 28in steel barrel, 2 3/4 in chamber and full choke. I also shoot the Remington 1100 with an Improved Cylinder. Generally you do not want to shoot "steel" shot out of a full choke unless the gun was designed for that, which the Model 50 I don't believe was. The reason being, steel does not compress like lead and the uncompressed steel can cause stress on the barrel when the shot tries the cram through the full choke, it causes more restriction and the barrel can crack or even blow apart. I have used 2 3/4in #4 steel shot in my Model 50 and have not seen any streaks on the interior of the barrel, no obstructions and no barrel stress. I have put a lot of shells through it too. I the #4 seems like it has more room to move then a #2 shot so I am sticking with that. My Remington 1100 however is made for steel shot, has an Improved Cylinder and has actually shown signs of barrel obstructions using 2 3/4 #2 steel shot. So the table has totally flipped on me. The full choke is doing great with steel shot and the IC almost blew on me. Maybe the steel grade barrel on my Model 50 is making the difference, I don't know, but it looks great still, looks a lot better than my 1100. I am thinking of selling the 1100 and buying the Nova Pump from Benelli, I hear great things about that gun but have never duck hunted with a pump. I hope this helps a little.

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

You will have to contact Browning for a correct answer.
Which model is it? Does it have a letter above the number? If it was made in Belgium, then Steel Shot should not be used. Value is too difficult to be accurate without seeing the gun and knowing the model. Condition which includes the amount of original finish and original configuration will determine value. Recommend taking it to a gun shop for appraisal.
I have used steel shot in my Model 1300 ever since I've been hunting ducks and geese and have experienced no failures or problems of any kind. Just make sure it's properly chambered (3 inch chamber for 3 inch rounds, etc.)
