I don't see any mention in their manual about the use of steel shot vs lead shot in various size choke tubes.
Am I to assume that ALL of the choke tubes that come with this shotgun can be used with steel shot?

Hi Charles and welcome. Yes but, with the Full Choke, it is not recommended to go beyond BB sized Steel Shot as steel does not compress like lead and could damage your Full Choke. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

Randy I. · Answer

unless the chokes are marked for STEEL shot do not use Full choke a lead modified choke will pattern like a full choke with steel because the steel does not deform. the problem with tight lead full chokes is that steel does not deform to flow through the choke and can damage the choke/barrel "Most factory choke tubes are made of lessor stainless steel, which equates to a choke that won't hold up to most steel shot loads.. Steel shot patterns tighter than lead shot. Generally speaking, you will want to use a more open choke when shooting steel shot than you would with lead"
