friend with very little gun kowledge,but a real desire to bust clay targets,was telling me he buys steel shot loads at WalMart for the same price as lead,and that he uses em because of cattel and sheep in the area.
I told him i"d ask a ?? or two here,so here goes.....
I thought steel wasy way more expensive,no??
I know steel was designed for saving birds (fear that they would eat the lead shot as I recall) is lead shot around 4 legged critters a problem.? Can steel shot be used in old shotguns or do you need one designed for it.?? His guns are all 'cheapies' from a used gun place.Will he ruin the barrels using steel?
I shoot a lot but not a hunter so not familiar with 'alternate' ammo like steel and bismuth,etc.
Thanks guys!! I"ll pass the info along to him.
