Can guns shoot both steel and lead?
Another side bar of this could also be that the skeet range we went to once may have stipulated the steel shot - so I could be messing up my facts as well on what can be shot where/when.
And another thing is where is the best deal and place to get cheap shotgun ammo for skeet shooting. What is a good price?
Any clarity would be appreciated.
Thank you!

First off, just how old is the shotgun?
It could very well be that even smokeless modern loads are too high pressure for it!
As far as shooting steel goes, I refrain from it in most guns unless I have opened up both the chokes and forcing cones ,or if the gun is designated for steel.
The majority of the guns I shoot are not .
Yup,pics would be nice!
