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
yes you can with steel chokes .
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.
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.
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.
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. 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.
Yes. Standard chokes should be OK. Extra full chokes, on modern turkey guns, no.
Check with a gunsmith.
