I shot quite a bit of steel before I gave up on it and switched to bismuth and/or tungsten polymer. What I found: 1. Weigh all shot charges. 2. Weigh all powder charges. 3. Watch BP's load data, I got some high pressures that I didn't like. The data I ended up using came from Alliant and Precision Reloading. 3. My final shot size after trying about all was #1 or B. 4. Keep your shots to 40 yards or less and steel will work. 5. Last, don't use steel in any of your older doubles, life is too short. Get a gun with barrels that have been designed for it.
