Except the barrel isn’t rated for steel. If you wanted to take a chance on it, you have to do both the choke and lengthen the forcing cone, and the reality is no one knows exactly what the forcing cone should be, they are just guessing.
steel shot from modern shells could cause excess wear in the barrel regardless of what final dimensions it arrives at. If it was an old beater project, sure, take your chances. Not what I would do with a gun that has sentimental value as the OP stated.
