Risking Derision Again

[Richard Flanders]

Sounds like a good topic for a Sherman Bell like study. Take a F/F damascus gun and put it into a test stand and start feeding steel shot loads through it by the hundreds and measuring the bore erosion in very small increments to see if this really is an issue. Measure pressures with increasing velocities and shot loads also. This would make an interesting study. I can't imagine why anyone would want to shoot steel shot myself as I've not had good killing results with it from my pump or modern S/S guns and biting onto a #2 steel pellet in a duck cost me $1000 for a full crown at the dentist. No thanks. I'm done with steel and sold my entire steel shot ammo supply to a friend for very cheap just to get it out of the house. I can buy a LOT of expensive non tox ammo or shot for $1000.
