Well I don't have a gold label but I am sure that Ruger has made a statement or such about non toxic through the gun. Check the owners manual and also email on Rugers site. If it were me though I would only use the smaller sizes of shot through it. Of course you can shoot any bismuth through it. Steel and Hevi is another matter though. Not only that but a SxS doesn't have enough bullets in it for me. I want three(or 5) shots for my waterfowl gun
