I've never shot steel although I'm interested in members' experiences with the older American classics choked IC/Modified. I have a half-dozen-or-so and would like to like to pass them along without worries.


Thanks for the info. I did not think Steal shot was even being made in the 70s but could be wrong. Especially outside of the USA.

I rarely shoot steel anymore. I've got some old stuff to shoot up in my two or three guns that will handle it.
