A modified choke is not exactly the same as a quarter choke, though they are similar. A modified choke provides a wider shot spread than a quarter choke, typically allowing for more shot dispersion at moderate ranges. While both are used for various shooting applications, the modified choke is generally considered to be more versatile for hunting and sport shooting.

You can use steel shot with a choke anywhere from cylinder to modified, i wouldn't recommend using steel with a improved modified or a full choke.
In both the U.S. and British scale of chokes, Full choke is the tightest choke for game guns (there are some "extra tight" chokes but these are generally for other thsan game guns). The English 3/4 (three quarter) choke is equivalent to the U.S. "Improved Modified" The English 1/2 (quarter ) choke is equivant to the U.S. "modified" In other words the Mod choke is one half the tightness of a full choke and a the Improved Modified is three quarters the tightness of a full choke.
Modified is a smaller, tighter pattern than improved cylinder. Basically, the slope in a modified choke tube is steeper than an improved cylinder choke tube.
