Steel chokes are generally not recommended for shooting lead ammunition, as they are designed to handle steel shot, which is harder and can cause wear over time. While using lead shot in steel chokes may not result in immediate damage, it can lead to inconsistent patterns and reduced performance. Additionally, many manufacturers advise against mixing shot types, so it's best to use chokes specifically designed for the type of shot you intend to use. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific choke and shotgun.
yes you can with steel chokes .
I had the same question when I bought mine.. but truth is as long as your chokes don't say lead only it is perfectly fine to shoot steel out of it
If it was made to shoot steel shot and has interchangeable chokes.
use lead only steel chokes are specified on the choke as steel of lead shot
Only if it is rated for steel shot. If you aren't sure, contact Briley.
Yes, you can shoot steel shot out of a Mossberg 500 with a factory choke, but it's important to check the specific choke tube being used. Standard factory chokes are typically rated for steel shot, but tighter chokes (like full chokes) may not be suitable for steel due to the increased pressure and risk of damaging the choke or the barrel. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific model and choke type to ensure safe use.
Depends on the choke. MOST chokes, including full choke, can safely fire slugs. Some makers of adjustable chokes recommend that slugs NOT be fired thru their chokes. A very few chokes, such as the Extra Full chokes used on some turkey guns should not be used for slugs.
with the wingmaster barrel you can only shoot lead, but if you change the barrel to a slugster you can shoot slugs and buckshot, they also have a barrel for steel shot to.
No. If it is marked 'lead only' then it must have been manufactured after steel shot was available but not designed to withstand the additional friction from steel shot.
Yes it could possible shoot lead ones, or steel ones for that matter but just not at the same velocity as a plastic bullet. They make steel airsoft bbs if that helps you out.
Yes, you can shoot steel shot in a Model 1200 12 gauge shotgun, provided that the shotgun is rated for steel shot. It's important to check the manufacturer's specifications or consult the owner's manual to ensure that using steel shot will not damage the barrel or choke. Additionally, using appropriate chokes that are compatible with steel shot is recommended to maintain performance and safety.
Yes. Lead shot may be safely fired from a shotgun that is made for steel shot. Problems arise when you fire steel shot from an older shotgun that is made for lead shot only- the barrel is softer metal, and make be scratched by the steel shot.
