Steel chokes are generally not recommended for shooting lead ammunition, as they are designed to handle steel shot, which is harder and can cause wear over time. While using lead shot in steel chokes may not result in immediate damage, it can lead to inconsistent patterns and reduced performance. Additionally, many manufacturers advise against mixing shot types, so it's best to use chokes specifically designed for the type of shot you intend to use. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific choke and shotgun.
