Oldest son shot ducks and geese with an Ithaca/SKB Model 280 20 gauge 3" chambers with IC/IC chokes #3-4 steel for years with no problems. Exceptional patterns.

Thanks to everyone, I appreciate it. I was slow to by a 12 ga BSS from a fellow CA sis guy who was selling it at our statewide shot for his brother, who had shot steel in it for a long time. Missed my chance

I am having one of my LC Long range restocked, but I will only shoot Bismuth or ITX in it.

I have always shot a lot of 20 ga over the years, just not for ducks, except a little when lead was still legal. I had a blast last opener, but I hunt 2 days a week most of duck season, so... bismuth and ITX get a little hard on the pocketbook. Maybe if I was a better shot! LOL

Thanks again to all who have shared their experiences.

I had the chokes opened to 10 and 15 thou on my 12-g BSS specifically to shoot steel. So far no problems.
