Lead and plastic are not harder than steel. Folks, including many pros, DO shoot threads now and again for a few shots. Yes, it is not the best thing to do, but damage is highly unlikely, whereas cleaning it up is. Is it better to buy a cylinder or skeet choke? Absolutely, but for a few shots, no biggie, for lead pellets. Using steel is altogether a different matter.
