To determine if shotgun shells are made of steel or lead, you can use a magnet. Steel shotgun shells will be attracted to the magnet, while lead shotgun shells will not.

I am seeking the age of my 410 double barrel shotgun. It came from my grandfather and has the following markings: Springfield Arms Co. Pat Apr 20, 1915 X57709 It has double triggers and is chambered for 2 1/2 shells. Thanks
The 1915 Springfield 12-gauge double barrel shotgun is a classic firearm known for its craftsmanship and reliability. Produced by the Springfield Armory, it features a side-by-side design and is typically chambered for 2 3/4-inch shells. This shotgun was popular among hunters and sportsmen for its versatility and performance in the field. Collectors often seek it due to its historical significance and unique design.
It should be marked on the barrel or recieiver.
Should use either 2 1/2" or 3" .410 shotgun shells.
410 shells only and only what the barrel is marked for.
Yes, shorter shells are no problem.
Yes, but beware that many blank shells contain corrosive gun powder. Clean your shotgun after firing blanks to avoid pitting your barrel.
NO. 3 1/2 shells are fairly new and only to be shot through rifles rated for it. If it doesn't say it on the barrel, DON'T DO IT!
The shell size is normally stamped on the barrel near the reciever. Shells have been made in many sizes over the years ranging from inch & a half mini shells up to three & a half inch magnums. If you cant find a size marked on the shotgun you should have a gunsmith inspect the gun to determine proper size. A shotgun that old cannot fire steel shot. The barrel steel is too soft and will be ruined by steel shot.
Yes, you can shoot 3 1/2 inch shells in an Elgoibar double barrel shotgun if the shotgun is specifically chambered for that length. However, if the shotgun is only chambered for 2 3/4 inch or 3 inch shells, using 3 1/2 inch shells could be dangerous and potentially damage the firearm. Always check the manufacturer's specifications and recommendations before using ammunition that exceeds the chamber's designated length.
