[QUOTE="Moparman485, post: 3882733, member: 38840"] Good afternoon all! In deer camp with a hunting buddy and he breaks out the largest pieces of shoulder “mounted artillery” I’ve held. It’s a marlin model 5510 “supergoose” 10 gauge bolt action with a 36 inch barrel. This thing makes my 1895CB 4570 look like a pellet gun. He knows almost zero about it and would like to reach out and see if anyone has experience with them. Along with the gun he received a large gallon bag of steel BB 3.5 inch shotshells. Now, he’s not a duck or goose hunter, but Basiclaly just wants it as a “deer camp right of passage” gun. So my question is simple, being that this is a non-Damascus type heavy walled 10ga, but is full choked, can he safely run those steel rounds through it, again, at most a handful of times per year. It’s definitely a heck of a conversation piece and in fairly great shape for its age. Just want to be safe doing so is all. Or, should we sell/trade these steel rounds and get some lead instead? Any help is appreciated. I’ll snag some pictures when I have good enough coverages for an upload! [/QUOTE]
