Have this for doves and used it with spreader loads. State lands now require nontoxic shot and I don't want to shoot steel through this barrel. Would appreciate hearing from someone with a similar problem and a cost-effective solution (new barrel, choke tubes, etc) that worked for you. Thanks.

Kent Bismuth 2 3/4 20 gauge in sale. Considering all we spend on hunting it's not too bad.

+1 on the Bismuth.
