Is it okay to shoot steel shot or hard shot from a 1950's JC Higgins 12 gauge?
To my knowledge, steel shot is a relatively new development, and it is necessary to use it in shotguns of recent manufacture that were built to handle it. In my opinion, the steel in the barrel of a 1950 vintage shotgun, which was 30 or 40 years before the advent of steel shot, would be too soft. Accelerated wear would probably be the best you could expect. Using steel shot in a gun that old would be like using rocket fuel in a vintage propeller plane. It just wasn't built to handle it. That's my opinion, anyway. Good luck.
Can steel shot be used in a Model 12 Winchester with a nickel steel barrel?
I had the same question so I bought a box of Winchester steel shells [#7 shot target loads 1200 fps] and shot them through my M12 nickel steel barrel with a Briley Mod. Choke tube. The plastic build up was more than I expected but after a good cleaning the barrel still looks good, no damage using target loads and they broke targets. I am going to shoot more through that barrel and keep checking.
Can a Stevens 12 gauge Model 95 shotgun accept steel shot?
If you are referring to the single-shot Stevens 95 with the push-botton lock release on the side of the receiver, the gun should be structurally sound enough for steel shot HOWEVER most of these were supplied with full choke barrels. You are going to find that using larger size steel (#1 and greater) will not give decent patterns out of that choke, and, over time, will actually deform the choked section of the muzzle. If you are referring to the antique Model 95 with the top-lever, the answer is absolutely not - period. sales@countrygunsmith.net
When were steel shot bullets first used?

Can you fire steel shot from a Baikal 12 bore Model 628 year 1985?
Hi, I don't know what kind of Baikal you're talking about. I bought a Baikal side by side and it came with choke tubes. Later, by reading the manual, I found out that I could not shoot steel through the tubes that came with the gun. I have to order special tubes if I want to shoot steel. Both Baikals I have owned proved to be a bad investment - both malfunctioned bigtime right out of the box. In my opinion Junk. Scheels in Sioux Falls have quit handeling Baikals because of such a high complaint and return rate. Good hunting.
