When Steel shot came out I was spending a lot of time working bush camps and wasn't able to keep abreast of the latest news.
First fall I bought a couple of boxes of ammo for my shotgun and went hunting.
After the hunt was over I discovered the the barrel had bulged just behind the choke. I thought the barrel was weak.
I didn't have internet access at the time so it wasn't until a few years later when I did and then I learned that steel shot could do that to a shotgun.
Alas, in the mean time a sweet little 20 gauge double suffered the same fate.
