Yes, you can use steel shot in a 20 GA Remington 870 Express Magnum as long as the shotgun is equipped with an appropriate choke. It's important to check the manufacturer's recommendations regarding choke constrictions and ensure that the choke can handle steel shot, as using steel shot with a tighter choke can lead to damage or unsafe conditions. Additionally, always verify local regulations regarding the use of steel shot for hunting or shooting sports.
the rumor is any serial number on an 870 express ending with an M means its a magnum. I have one I bought in about 1987 and have shot thousands of three inch shells through it.

Yes, a Remington 1100 with a 30-inch full choke barrel can be used to shoot steel shot, but caution is advised. Full choke barrels may not perform well with steel shot, which can lead to increased pressure and potential damage to the barrel. It's generally recommended to use an improved cylinder or modified choke for steel shot to ensure safe and reliable performance. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines and consult with a knowledgeable gunsmith if unsure.
Requires examination by a good gunsmith.
