Icedragon: Be advised you can't use lead shot for hunting waterfowl -- this is a federal regulation. Many pre-lead shot ban (circa 1975?) shotgun barrels can be damaged by using steel shot. You can possibly use special shot -- bismuth shot? hevishot? -- in these older shotgun barrels, but you will have to do research on this topic. If your shotgun was manufactured post-ban you should be OK. Even so, using steel shot with a full choke is not recommended, even with current shotgun barrels. Maybe you already know about this, but I thought it was better to spell this out than you possibly damaging a favorite upland gun.
