NOT RECOMMENDED unless you are in a life or death situation.
As long as the barrel was made after 1950 and does NOT have a full choke, you will be able to shoot steel #2 or smaller.
That will depend on whether the choke tube is rated for steel shot or not.
It has a nickel steel barrel and is a 12 gauge with a mod choke. It has a nickel steel barrel and is a 12 gauge with a mod choke. It has a nickel steel barrel and is a 12 gauge with a mod choke.

If it was made to shoot steel shot and has interchangeable chokes.
Depends on the load and what the maker of the choke/shotgun say.
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.
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 certainly it can with barrels intended for steel. It is generally not reccomended to shoot steel through Belgian FN guns no matter the choke. If you have a Japanese made gun with the invector choke system it is likely ok, but not certain. Check the year and be certain that the (invector) choke is rated for steel. The best reccomendation is to consult Browning with the year your gun was made (by serial number) and the barrel markings to identify the time period the barrel was made. They are best suited to recommend a safe answer to this question. Auto5man
If it was designed for it, yes. If not, no.
