Yes. Lead shot may be safely fired from a shotgun that is made for steel shot. Problems arise when you fire steel shot from an older shotgun that is made for lead shot only- the barrel is softer metal, and make be scratched by the steel shot.

Can you shoot steel shot out of a Mossberg 500 with a factory choke?

Yes, you can shoot steel shot out of a Mossberg 500 with a factory choke, but it's important to check the specific choke tube being used. Standard factory chokes are typically rated for steel shot, but tighter chokes (like full chokes) may not be suitable for steel due to the increased pressure and risk of damaging the choke or the barrel. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific model and choke type to ensure safe use.
