I would think condition would tell you if it's safe to shoot.

All of them are made for smokeless. As above- condition determines whether it's safe.

Win93s?- not so much! Esp. as they aren't 2 3/4" chambered. ( I have one that's shootable- but it only gets light loads in the 2 1/2" shells.)

Thanks for the input guys.
I didn't think there was a problem,but,since I'm
new to the details of the97s .I wanted to make sure there'd
be no nasty suprises..
