turkeycreek, I don't think I would shoot steel through it if it says not for steel....perhaps the metal isn't as strong as a steel shot choke tube, and if it's a little too tight (constriction), it may passably damage the threads on the choke or barrel it self. There must be a reason the company that made the choke put that warning on it.
I have a mossberg 835,for which I bought several chokes for,including a turkey choke which says for lead shot only.the full choke has for lead shot only, the mod,imp Cly,is OK for steel.
It maybe OK to shoot some through it but, I would just get a choke that you know you can.
