Shot in a rifled barrel
I can't imagine lead shot causing any damage to a rifled barrel. Might leave lead deposits which can be a bugger to clean out of the barrel.
As far as I know the biggest problem in shooting shot in a rifled barrel is that the rifling messes up the shot pattern (spread).
You don't get a nice even distribution of pellets...the pattern can have large "holes" which means misses.
