So I purchased a long range waterfowl choke tube last year and I'd like to try it at the range to see the spread at different distances. My question is can I shoot lead through the choke tube or with it ruin it? Am I only supposed to shoot steel shot through it cause if so that is going to be expensive... Thanks

you can shoot lead thru ANY choke that is rated for steel shot. BUT there is really no point shooting lead to check your patterns and they shoot steel for hunting. The patterns will be completely different. you can even alter patterns changing shot size, shell brand and shot weight. you really need to test with the load you will hunt with.
