Thanks you all for your input! I am still not sure of the answer to weather it is "safe" to shoot today's steel from this gun or not ,That's OK, I am also a little confused about the use of 20ga over 12ga, Having many of both I tend to use my 20's over 12's including a 16ga or two, far more often, That's just me ,I don't think it's good for everyone, After more than 30 years of upland hunting and waterfowl hunting I tend to like my two pipe guns more than my auto's and my pumps of today, 20ga is just my preference and thought this year I'd take my 311 for a local hunt or two, THANK YOU AGAIN FOR INPUT. S.T. p.s. all I can find in bismuth is cases! That's more than I want.
