@Everyone else, thank you. Great feedback. Going shopping for shells
It has always been my understanding that even with modern guns you do not want to shoot steel with anything tighter than Mod. Tungsten is not softer than steel. It is harder and even more dense than lead. That said we shoot tungsten shells in turkey guns choked F/XF and in a BSS choked LM/IM. The bismuth, matrix, ITX are good non-tox to shoot in vintage guns. For the little bit of waterfowl shooting I do, ITX is on the bench to load. I do have TSS too but usually load that for turkeys.
