Just a quick question today.
Can you put steel shot through an older shotgun? A Winchester 37A in particular.

Introduced in the early 1990s, bismuth-tin alloy was the first nontoxic steel substitute to arrive after the lead shot ban. With superior density to steel (9.6 grams per cubic centimetre compared to steel's 7.86), bismuth alloy pellets hit harder than steel and were safe in old guns that steel shot could damage.
Only issue is its about $4 or $5 a shot.
