Thomas, many of us shoot modern ammo in these guns. I try to find low pressure loads-1145 to 1200 fps for sporting clays but heavier loads for live game are OK. Steel shot is a no-no. The Steel barrels will handle the pressure but the stock takes the beating and can cause cracks especially near the rear of the side locks. Have your gunsmith check the barrels and if the stock is cracked anywhere fix it immediately while the gun is apart for inspection and cleaning. If you need help please call me at 717-887-0545. Tom
