How does the wad and projectiles exit the barrel? Does the wad hold the projectile until it exits the barrel? I ask because, after reviewing some videos, I think it does. Then I ask, why do steel projectiles need a steal choke?

The wad sort of follows the shot after exsiting the barrel and then sort of goes off to the side due to the lightness of the plastic. Your chokes are all made from steel so it makes no difference if youre shooting lead or steel shot. -
Do the pellets stay inside the wad until it exits the barrel?Comment

Mostly yes. As for how long it stays with the shot, that depends. So called "flight control" wads hold onto them longer and give a tighter pattern.Comment

I would think so... would be interesting to see a high-speed shot of the muzzle.
I think the deal with chokes dates back to when wadding was actually wadding... a flame retardant material (currently available in wool) that serve the purpose of "sealing" the bore behind the shot.
Reloaders may also use them instead of the plastic "wads".- Rich

A right that can be regulated is no right at all, only a temporary privilege dependent upon the good will of the very government
officials that such right is designed to constrain.Comment
