Hey guys. I had a friend ask me if his single barrel .410 with a fixed full would be safe to fire tss through. I figured yes but second opinions don’t hurt. Also he has a .410 Remington 1100 with removable chokes that do not say that it is ok to shoot steel through. I’m just wanting to verify if it is safe or not. Also note tss is 3”, #9, 1100 fps

The problem is in the function of lead vs steel… short answer is. I would not run the steel shot through the fixed full barrel. It will likely not hurt the gun but it will not pattern properly so why risk it… with the Screw in chokes, the modified choke will act as a full choke with steel shot… hope this helps you and your buddy.. tell him if he’d like to get rid of that 1100, I have an 1100 sporting 12 that’s much cheaper to shoot 😂😂
Choke restriction w/ TSS is fine, the question is how solid is the gun, can it handle the extra pressure of a TSS load? If a modern tight lock-up gun, should be fine. I know Damascus barrels are a no-no to TSS and some older lower grade steel barrels no as well. Should be able to google the make/model of the gun and get responses on shooting TSS or not.
Most TSS branded after market chokes are .385" or .380", standard 410 full is .398", so they could be called xtra full and xtra-xtra full. Point is no worries about choke restriction w/ #9 TSS, now TSS T shot or buckshot would be a different answer on choke size.
