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.
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.
