Default Steel

I feel a little obligated to add my two cents.
Lead IS a long range load but a slice of history past. Even in the pre lead ban days there was a range that was "out of range".
I agree with Desrty that "within range" steel works fine. The effective range IS shorter but it patterns well. The newer non toxic loads do add a little more range, but they also have a limit.
The key here is to learn effective range and respect it.
In my opinion, a fast load of #3 steel for ducks in my Parker Reproduction at reasonable ranges works just fine.
