RE: Calling all 20 ga. shooters!!
Killed my first bunch of birds with a youth 870, factory full choke and winchester supreme #6s. Not fancy by any means but a bird at 30-35 yards was in a lot of trouble haha.

The choke I've got on my gun says for lead only though....so what are my best shot options?

I'll have to check when I get home but I think the choke that I have pictured above is tighter than .550.
That could hurt more than help, correct?

It is possible that you can over choke causing a "blown" pattern, but I would give it a try either way. I have found that a lot of lead loads like to be choked pretty tight, definitely more so than the heavier than lead loads.
