This was a problem with the early steel shot shells actually, they put something on the shot now to keep it from happening. I've also seen several guns bulged behind the choke from steel, always older guns with tight chokes. That's the main reason not to use it in older shotguns, particularly larger shot and guns with tighter chokes. But of course, I don't know anything, we have an expert here on the forum who will tell you it's perfectly safe.
