Vintage guns and steel typically do not go together. As previous posters have noted the speeds required to get steel close to lead performance push guns to max pressure and possibly max recoil. It simply drives home the reality that vintage doubles should stick to Bismuth if non tox is required.

I keep an old Franchi Auto from my grandfather, with an extra barrel I purchased in order to shoot steel and not care about barrel damage. it works for dove, though I prefer my side by sides.
