I've gotta say, if you say steel sucks then you've not shot much of the high tech modern stuff. It's not lead, that's for sure, but it's certainly not the early 80's crap that gave it such a bad name. I'm the only vintage style gunner in my local crowd and all the other boys still seem to have a nice bag of birds at the end of the day, all shooting steel. Where it loses a lot of it's juice is in a high wind, because it's so much lighter than lead or the other non-toxic stuff. But on a normal day, at reasonable range, the modern steel will kill.

That being said, if you're shooting a vintage gun, then the Kent TM is the way to go. It's the best by far of all the factory stuff. If you want loads for damascus guns then get with the boys at RST, they make the best sort of thing for that kind of work.
