I cast another vote for the repro. I own three, two of which are pictured in the thread nearest this one. All three are capable of handling steel in the mod or more open bores, but I don't use it because I don't like it and fortunately don't have to use it at our club, Del Monte Gun Club in southern CO. In fact I have never shot steel in a repro. I also have a Smith, a Fox, a couple of original Parkers and other "old stuff" so I always shoot low pressure loads and I doubt many people around here kill more ducks than I do. Hot rod loads are for the young guys on TV with guns that look like military weapons. I use bismuth and niceshot, which I load, for waterfowl. Lead for everything else.
