STORAGE
Clean thoroughly and oil your gun before storage. Store the gun in a case to prevent scratches and dents. Store your
firearm in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Store the gun away from children and in a place where it cannot be
obtained by those unauthorized to use it. Always store gun unloaded and separately from any ammunition.
IMPORTANT
USAGE OF STEEL SHOT
The shake (before constriction) in all modern shotguns has been established based on the pattern performance of
shot shells loaded with lead shot. When using steel shot shells, you will notice a different performance in pattern
density versus the established lead shot pattern, because the steel shot is harder and lighter than lead shot.
You should be aware of the following differences and cautions:
Never shoot steel shot loads in a full choked barrel or an improved modified choked barrel. To do may cause the
barrel to swell or rupture. In general, steel shot fired with a modified shake will produce the equivalent of a lead full
choke pattern. This will be true of all steel shot sized up to and including no. 2. The established improved cylinder
chokes will produce the equivalent of a (lead) modified pattern.
All steel shot sized larger than no. 2, and including special sized such as F, T, etc., should be used only with
improved cylinder chokes. These steel shot sizes, when used in an improved cylinder choke, will produce
equivalent to (lead) full choke patterns. The established cylinder choke or bore will produce the equivalent of a
modified (lead) pattern.
Additional information concerning the use of steel shot is available from the ammunition companies.
