Can you shoot slugs and 00 buck out of a Remington 870 Wingmaster?
Shot cups have come a long way since then. And I suspect the shot has too. I still avoid steel in old fixed full choke guns, but I have various modified choke guns that date back to 1937, that I shoot steel through with no detectable issues yet. All of them have had more than a 100 rounds of steel through them to date. I'm not saying you should do it, I'm just saying I have.I have a couple of older 870's that I put steel through years ago when the big steel shot thing came about, that was during the save the water fowl movement, 1980's. Those barrels are clearly marred from all the steel shot.
Good call on my bad info...brain vs fingers error. This is why i don't like to type "advice" Thanks for the correctionIt's not the extractor, but the ejector and ejector spring, that are different on 3" model guns versus the 2-3/4" ones. But more than a few of the 2-3/4" guns actually got 3" set ups from the factory.
