Not reccomended. Older shotguns were made of softer steel, and may be scored by the harder pellets.
If it was made to shoot steel shot and has interchangeable chokes.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do not shoot steel shot in this weapon.
Not recommended.
If your gun is older than 1990 I wouldn't. Not saying it will destroy the barrel but steel shot is harder than lead and before steel shot came into use most manufacturers had no reason to test the barrels for steel use. It can damage the barrel or worse. If your gun is older than 1990 I wouldn't.

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 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.
18 gauge steel is thicker than 20 gauge steel. The lower the gauge number, the thicker the steel; therefore, 18 gauge steel has a greater thickness and typically offers more durability and resistance to dents and damage compared to 20 gauge steel. This makes 18 gauge sinks a popular choice for those seeking a sturdier option.
Only with cylinder and improved cylinder choke tubes.
