It doesn't help that the manufacturers don't all use one rating for constriction. While most companies use the standard designations for lead shot, other companies rate their chokes for steel shot, and a choke that is rated Mod for lead, is rated Full for steel Some chokes actually have both lead and steel ratings stamped on them. Some people see Full chokes listed for steel, and assume that all Full chokes are safe for steel. And many people simply have not bothered to learn about chokes. I have had several people show up to shoot clays, or to hunt with me, that had no clue which choke to use, or what difference it makes. One person even showed up with no choke in the gun, ready to shoot, he didn't know what the chokes were. Many people just purchase a shotgun, and some ammunition, and head out shooting.But given that many of those same people don't even understand the firearms laws or the hunting regulations, it shouldn't be surprising.
