As to using steel in older shotguns, many older guns are not approved for steel shot, regardless of the choke, the forcing cones can suffer gouging and scratching from steel shot. Larger steel shot and higher velocities increases the risk of damage. As to buying target loads, swing by Cabelas now, and you can pick up Challenger lead shot target loads at under $7 per box on sale.

Skeet ranges on military bases have this requirement. Federal land. It is the reason the one at CFB Suffield petered out.
