NO. Early shotguns have softer steel barrels, and are not rated for steel shot. It will damage the choke of the shotgun.

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

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.


Can you shoot buckshot out of a skeet barrel?

Yes you can. Lead Shot is Lead Shot. I shoot all kinds of different sizes of shot out of my Mossberg and Remington Shotguns. What you do not want to do is shot a slug out of barrel made for shot. Get a rifled barrel for that.


Can you shoot steel shot through a sweet 16?

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.

Can you shot steel shot through your Stevens model 5100 double barrel shotgun?

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
