First post here. Looking for a 16 ga. Barrel for 870 Wingmaster to shoot Steel shot. I have a 28" full choke-25" skeet & a 25 " mod. Guess I can shoot bismuth from everything but the full chole. Any ideas on a website or gun shop will be greatly appreciated! |

Hello Swampwalker
Welcome on your first posting
Why not use the Skeet barrel
Mine does GREAT with steel shot
Use #3 or #4 for early season ducks
Use #3 or #2 for late season ducks

Welcome aboard. I agree w/Skeettx, the Skt barrel would work fine for steel probably pattern roughly Skt2 or Mod and I've not heard about any trouble using Bis in a full choke. Regardless, have you looked through Corson's inventory.

best of luck with it.... |

You can shoot the bismuth in any of the barrels; including the Full one...That's the beauty of it as a non-toxic shot.
As mentioned, the Skeet choked barrel is ideal for steel shot and I shoot steel shot out of my Modified barreled guns on a regular basis.
Yes, NO steel shot out of the Full choke barrel, but bismuth and Kent's TungstenMatrix (expensive!) are O.K. |

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. Gonna order some steel and bis for the early Teal/Wood duck. I have an old vintage 50s 870 Wingmaster and a newer 80s model. I have several interchangeable barrels. Both are 16s. I'm jonesing for one of the new Franchi o/u 16s. |
