I am running a rifled 870 because that what it has and works quite well with Win PDX1 slug/buckshot loads I use.

My Versa Max came with this man eater cylinder bore choke - I have never used it - thinking maybe giving it a try next time I go to the range.

Not understanding why a cylinder bore choke would be rated for lead only - I thought that was just for super tight turkey chokes. Remington must have used some really soft metal.

The last few years I use only improved cylinder .010 and always try to follow the American Gun Association instructions and tips.

Does it matter at home defense distances?

Choke makes no difference at home defense distances. The pellets will not spread at all.

Not inside my house at least. The way my house it laid out only a couple of ways you can get a shot over 20 feet. Most shots would be 10-15 feet or less.

I guess if you have a big mansion or a really long trailer home it might matter.

I don’t own a shotgun, yet. All my issued shotguns never had a choke.

Modified in my M4 using buckshot. Honestly though it doesn’t matter at all if using in a home for defense unless you live in hose with wide open spaces like a football stadium. Some guns will be different but I’ve shot my gun with that setup at targets to 60 yards. It spreads some but still enough holes to give the same result at 60 as it would be at 3 yards.
