OK Edgar. My original understanding, and it was certainly not based on any exhaustive research, was that the small shot, like #7, would be OK in older guns. The gun writers who mentioned that probably also said "in modified, or more open barrels", so even if true this VHE's improved modified barrel is too probably too tight. Add to that the unanimous response on this forum that steel should not be used in a gun not made for it is certainly convincing. Thanks for the help and we will heed the advice. Have already ordered the bismuth!
