A fellow posting on another site who lives close to the ocean talked about shooting several ducks and having them "explode". Later examination of his steel shot shells (left over from past seasons) revealed that saltwater had gotten into the shot and the steel pellets had literally rusted into large lumps. He didn't post whether or not it had damaged his gun barrel.
Something to think about when using old steel shot shells.
