The unwritten rule is that you should use steel in nothing tighter than Mod choke. Mod is ok.
Having said that, I would caution against taking that to heart. Browning lists older guns that can be used for steel and ones that cannot. Even those which are approved by Browning are advised to only shoot smaller than BB sized shot.
If Beretta publishes such information, I'm not aware of it. My own feeling is, buy a Mobil Choke equipted barrel with a MOd choke tube for the 301 and shoot steel worry free!
