I was cleaning my Remington Versa Max today and removed the choke for cleaning, so I thought I have a look at the other chokes the gun came with as I did not remember what I had. I came across the choke in the picture, and I am now perplexed. The first thing I was told when I started using steel shot was that I should not use anything tighter than 1/2 choke. This choke though reads (as per picture) 'Remington Probore Full steel or lead'. If I take this literally, it means this is a full choke that can be used for steel too, but surely this cannot be the case. What am I missing/misinterpreting here? Many thanks!

Last Sunday was my first visit to Stocks Farm at Puddington it was a glorious afternoon with a little bit of wind to make the clays a little more interesting. I did a round of 75 and used the cartridges they sold and had a belter of an afternoon and hit around 3/4 of the clays. Today I did 75 again and was hitting well under half and tbh feel a little deflated The weather was nearly spot on the same, the chokes were the same (1/4 and 1/2) the only varying factor was the cartridges, last week I shot using the cartridges the ground sold these were 28g 7.5 (I think) steel shot plastic wad, today I shot using Eley Firsts 28g 7.5 fibre wad. I know you should never blame your tools but is this possibly where I have gone wrong?? I always though carts were carts stop making excuses and get on with it, but I would say my shot placements were the same as last week etc etc. Should I have been choked differently? Or am I looking too much into this and just had an off day? Any feedback as always is appreciated,
