What both Murphy and I are saying is that steel shotshells made today are a lot different than ones made in 1985. They have super thick shotcups, the shot is plated so it doesn't rust, and they'll actually kill birds just fine. The old stuff was none of of these things and would screw up a gun if you got unlucky.

All that being said, I don't use it in my Parkers, I buy those expensive shells that Murphy mentioned. But once my stock of those is gone I'll have to rethink my position as I can't afford them anymore. I might just buy a beater V grade and start banging away with Winchester Supremes.
