I was running a search on the forum, but could not find similar subject.

Gun: Mossberg 500 A, cylinder bore, 12 GA, 3 inch chamber.

Question: Can it use steel shot?
If not, can a barrel be replaced, for steel shot approved bbl?
 
A huge amount of steel shot has been run through that shotgun in the US. Yes, you can shoot steel through it, especially with cylinder choke.
 
Thank you , boys.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
