Depends on the load and what the maker of the choke/shotgun say.
That will depend on whether the choke tube is rated for steel shot or not.

That will depend on whether the choke tube is rated for steel shot or not.
No.
No.
Most ARE shot from full choke- or even Extra Full Choke.
As long as the barrel was made after 1950 and does NOT have a full choke, you will be able to shoot steel #2 or smaller.
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.
NOT RECOMMENDED unless you are in a life or death situation.
Only with cylinder and improved cylinder choke tubes.
depends on distance. um for 25 yrds id use a skeet choke and # shot or turkey w/ # 7 or 6.5 shot
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.
