Steel Shot through a 16 gauge

It's generally suggested that steel shot is manageable in a gun with barrels NOT made for steel with chokes opened at least to modified. However, I think that is generally referring to 12 gauge.

What is the collective wisdom here regarding safe choke dimensions for steel in a 16 gauge barrel. Modified still, or should it be more open? My concern at this point is strictly barrel bulge. Also not concerned at this point with pressure or recoil issues. Simply likelihood of barrel bulge.

if it was made before the late eighties, the barrel steel is too soft for hard steel shot...

I guess someone forgot to tell the guys at companies like Remington and Miroku/Browning. I have their guns from the 60s and 70s and they are quite happy shooting steel.
