Definitely look at getting another choke to run with your steel shot and slugs.
You might get away with a few rounds but there's no shortage of people reporting budging behind the choke and stripped choke tube threads from running full choke with steel.

Hi mate, check the manual here:

http://www.pardusarms.com/style/pardus/ ... MANUAL.pdf

It lists the 'C*****' as cylinder, and the 'F*' as fully choked. Did you get a few chokes with it?

cheers for that fellas, so im not running full quite the oppisite and if im correct i need to run improved cyclinder choke for steel shot but is this the same for solids??? the manual says anything larger than No2 you should use IC choke???? na mate only came with the one

The general rule is no choke tighter than Improved Modified for steel shot and certainly never Full as you can damage/bulge the end of the barrel.
Cylinder and Improved Cylinder will be fine.
Steel shot groups tighter than lead for any given choke so the more open chokes will work nicely. Slugs don't need choke as there's no shot to force together and you don't want to slow the slug down so Cylinder would probably be the best choice.

The steel balls are harder but less dense than lead so they lose velocity faster and don't hit as hard at long distances but very few would even notice the difference.
