.philmypower. 26 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Yes they must be steel proofed, if there not you could damage your barrels as there is more pressure in steel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

remi700 99 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 90 % of guns nowadays will be steel proofed. Look out for a mark called the fleur de lis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scarecrow243 24 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 older guns that dont have damascus or other twist steel barrels can handle standard steel cartridges NOT high velocity heavy loads, dont use any tighter choke than half Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roe-buck 63 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Any modern shotgun with no more than half choke will do as long as its the correct chamber length for the steel cartridge your using i.e 3 inch or 2 3/4 inch.Baikals are a good cheap option as the bores are factory chromed for hardness and long wear.
