Larry, If you stick with the modified choke this shotgun ships with you should have no problem. Stay away from full choke and you should have no problem with bulging or grooving.

Larry, there are some common consensus by the major manufacturers on "Steel" Shot. Don't go larger than #2 Steel Shot and don't go with a tighter than Modified Choke and you will be fine Sir. Steel Shot tends to not compress as Lead Shot does. #2 Steel Shot" is about the largest you should use as larger than #2 Steel Shot is less and less forgiving at the Choke/Muzzle the larger you go depending on your Choke..

james that is backwards the manufactures recommend #2 or smaller in older guns without choke tubes. Guns with chokes are larger and stronger at the end of the barrel than guns without chokes. It is fine with steel but stay away from the Full and extra full choke tubes From Remington " Thank you for visiting Remington Country! We certainly appreciate you taking the time to write in with your question. You can shoot steel shot through any Remington barrel made since 1950. In a fixed full choke, you can shoot up to a size #2 pellet.If you have the Rem Choke system, you may shoot any size steel through the Improved Cylinder and Modified choke tubes. The Full choke tube must state "For Steel or Lead" to be capable of handling steel shot."
