yes, it will work fine and will not hurt the gun at all. I would suggest no steel shot....<><....:)

That will never happen now-a-days. Modern slugs are sized to fit ALL chokes, Modern rifled slugs will size down to fit the bore. Old fashioned round "pumpkin balls" (the precursor to new rifled slugs) may have hurt an overly tight muzzle constriction but that was many years ago. "Pumpkin balls" are no longer commercially loaded. You are GTG and it is safe. Many here, including myself, have done it with no problems....<><....:)
