Charlie and Eric:
I agree with both of you. BUT, I do not like steel. Admittedly they are making much better steel shot loads then several years ago, but I've seen to many ducks hit with steel still continue to fly off and you know they were going to die a short distance away. If you don't break a wing bone or get a neck or head shot they continue to fly. Losing a wounded bird, duck, or animal is painful for me and my experience with steel tells me it just doesn't have the same impact and killing power that lead, Bismuth, Hevi-shot, etc. has. I know it costs considerably more but so far I have been able to just "grin and bear it".
