Very smart choice of battery! I bought a Jap A-5 3" Magnum 28" Invector choke when the feds put the idiotic non-tox shot regs into law, which at the time left steel shot as the only available alternative for waterfowl hunting. This was way before bismuth, tungsten matrix and the other now-standard non-tox loads were available in any quantity or load selection.
It became my all-everywhere steel shot backup gun for waterfowl, and I took it everywhere as a hedge against any difficulties I might encounter when the better non-tox substitutes became widely available for use in my SxSs and O\Us (Foxes and Brownings). Mine came to me with Carlstrom black synthetic replacement stock and forearm, ideal for use as a temporary cane or crutch, and handles rain, mud, snow and sleet without a burp. Also makes a great short-stoke oar coming out of the marsh after dark with a limit!
