Can you use steel shot in a old 1915 Winchester mod 1912 16 gag?

Answer 1

I myself would not shoot steel shot through your fine winchester model 12 shotgun.I suppose that there are some out there that will simply say yes to your question,but the fact remains that the steel at the time of your shotguns production was never meant to be shot with steel shot.I would buy a newer shotgun made since 1990 or so and shoot all the steel shot through that shotgun.These can be found for around 200 dollars or less and this will preserve the fine model 12 winchester for upland birds and rabbits.
