All "non-toxic" shot is harder than lead so it depends on which type you use. Bismuth is harder than lead, but is safe to shoot through barrels and chokes designed for lead - as are some of the polymer-blend shot. But steel and iron-based shot must be shot through barrels and chokes made for steel.

Since you didn't indicate which type you will be using I would err on the side of safety and use a Full choke made for steel as long as your barrel is approved for steel shot.

Just my $0.02.
