Rich you are correct, steel is light. Since simple Newtonian Physics dictate that Force = Mass X Acceleration, denser shot simply delivers more force to the target assuming equal muzzle velocity. Ergo, I pay $4 per round for Bismuth when duck hunting. The extra $2 is nothing in the grand scheme of things, I should be so lucky as to shoot more $4 rounds. The physics are the physics, if you want to discuss hunting economics I will refer you to my wife who seems to be able to think more clearly on the subject.
