Waterfowl ammo?

My old Ithaca XL300 semi auto shotgun cant shoot steel ammo, is there any other ammo i can use in it for Ducks and other waterfowl besides steel?
Same with my Marlin 55 original goose gun.

There are other non toxics like mentioned above. bismuth and hevishot to name a couple. The other non tox options are more expensive than steel generally

You can also have the choke opened up so your gun can safely shoot steel. If you are going to do a lot of waterfowl hunting that would be the cheaper option.
