One is made of steel, and the other of lead, obviously. The steel is harder, and won't expand as much, but also isn't toxic, which is important in instances where you fail to recover the animal, so that other wildlife won't eat the carcass, eat the lead shot, and die from it.

Rifling.

The barrel is not smooth on the inside. There are small grooves spiraling down the barrel which makes the bullet spin.

Nearly all shotguns do not have rifling in the barrel.

I am going to assume from the nature of the question that you are asking why this is often held as a wise procedure.

There are three basic types of malfunction that can occur with ammunition.

The first is a "Squib Fire" where the powder does not completely burn, and the bullet fails to leave the barrel.

The second is a misfire where the round fails to activate, and one hears only a simple "click"; indicating that the round is a dud.

The third type of malfunction is called a "Hang Fire" and is the reason for this procedure. When the first occur "Hang Fires" behave like misfires, the trigger is pulled and nothing happens. Then...a few seconds later...bang! A Hang Fire is the result when a primer fails to immediately ignite the powder, resulting in the round discharging some time after the trigger is pulled rather than within one second. Thus whenever you have a misfire you keep the weapon pointed in a safe direction and wait to be sure it is in fact a miss-fire and not a hang-fire. I have always advised my students to wait a full minute (assuming they are not in combat or what have you, or course.) And then to remove the dud round.
