No. If it is marked 'lead only' then it must have been manufactured after steel shot was available but not designed to withstand the additional friction from steel shot.
Yes. Lead shot may be safely fired from a shotgun that is made for steel shot. Problems arise when you fire steel shot from an older shotgun that is made for lead shot only- the barrel is softer metal, and make be scratched by the steel shot.
with the wingmaster barrel you can only shoot lead, but if you change the barrel to a slugster you can shoot slugs and buckshot, they also have a barrel for steel shot to.
I had the same question when I bought mine.. but truth is as long as your chokes don't say lead only it is perfectly fine to shoot steel out of it
use lead only steel chokes are specified on the choke as steel of lead shot
If it was made to shoot steel shot and has interchangeable chokes.
Only if it is rated for steel shot. If you aren't sure, contact Briley.
Unless they have been rebarreled, or a newer choke tube installed, no. The Sweet 16 was made at a time when all shot were lead, and the barrels are softer steel. Steel shot will damage the barrel.
Yes. Please note that is lead shot SIZE BB, and not the steel balls shot by air rifles.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do not shoot steel shot in this weapon.
ONLY IF YOU WANT TO DAMAGE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't do it.
no
That will depend on whether the choke tube is rated for steel shot or not.
