In the skip......really??   If you're skipping it anyway, why not just use it until it breaks, if it breaks. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Don't see why steel shot will do any harm, OK it's not proofed for superior steel but anything else will be fine if it is in good condition. I took a 1899 Watson Bros in recently for reproof and passed fine for any standard nitro load, only thing is that 2 3/4" chambers are the way to go for the future as 2 1/2" loads might be harder to get in steel. If the barrels are up to it have the chambers lengthened, get it reproofed and enjoy for years to come.

Got a rather nice W&S 700 if anyone is interested...
