Doubt it would hurt anything providing it wasn't lots of rounds. Lead < steel.
Dumb question. Can you shoot regular shot shells thru a rifled barrel? It would definitely not be a regular event. Just thinking if I carried this gun in the truck for a hog gun, but wanted to keep a bird shot handy to shoot a moccasin, would it do any damage to the rifling??
It will not pattern worth a crap, will have a tendency to leave a hole in the middle of the pattern. Tried it many times with ML, ended up buying a smoothbore barrel.

don't think it would hurt it for a now and then thing,but it would probally mess the rifleing up if it was done all the time. just for a snake killin now and then should be fine
Finally got around to shooting this gun for the first time this weekend. I finally put a scope on it a couple weeks ago. The Hornady SST ammo in 2 3/4 did not shoot worth a diddly darn. I actually had a hard time getting started because the sabot and bullet were both hitting the paper and ripping holes at 25 yards. Couldn't tell which was which. Had to back the target off a bit so the sabot wouldnt hit it. I used them to get it roughly on, then switched to the Remington all copper slugs. I shot 2 thru the same hole at about 30 yards. Then moved the target back to roughly 75 yards and hit right next to the 2 previous holes. That was probably my most expensive zeroing in session in my life ever. lol
