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.

The thickness of 14 gauge (14g) steel is approximately 1.6 millimeters.
That will depend on the capacity of the tank and the gauge of the steel used to make it.
Low cost carbon steel caskets are usually made of 20-gauge steel. This means that 20 sheets of 20 ga steel have a thickness of one inch. Twenty-gauge steel sheets have a thickness of 0,8 mm; this is the same thickness as used in many automobile body panels. Standard steel caskets use 18 ga steel sheets which have a thickness of 1 mm. Upper end steel caskets use 16 ga steel sheets with a thickness of 1,3 mm. 16 sheets of 16 ga steel have a thickness of one inch.
The best gauge for stainless steel range hoods typically ranges from 18 to 22 gauge. A thicker gauge, such as 18, offers better durability and resistance to dents and warping, making it ideal for professional or heavy-duty use. For standard residential use, 20 gauge is often sufficient, balancing quality and cost. Ultimately, the choice depends on your cooking habits and kitchen design preferences.
If it was made to shoot steel shot and has interchangeable chokes.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do not shoot steel shot in this weapon.
Not recommended.
Have it examined by a gunsmith
You can, but, it will cause a slight bulge in the barrel.
It can, but, damage will eventually happen. Not recommended.
No, 6 gauge steel is thicker than 10 gauge steel. The gauge number decreases as the thickness of the steel increases, so a lower gauge number indicates a thicker steel.
The "Savage/ Stevens" model 311, 12 gauge uses 2 3/4" shells. Just make sure that you do not use a hard shoot (steel,tungsten, etc.) in it or any of the new high pressure shells in it.
Arthur Higgins has written: 'Satin and steel'
Not reccomended. Older shotguns were made of softer steel, and may be scored by the harder pellets.
The gauge of steel used in a steel garage typically varies from 14 to 26 gauge. The lower the gauge number, the thicker and more durable the steel. Thickness can also vary based on the specific design and structural requirements of the garage.
The lower the gauge number, the thicker the steel.
