Modern steel kills just fine, the reputation for wounding was created in the early days before the ammo companies figured out how to load it. When it comes to steel, speed kills, and it's all plenty fast now. I've seen some tremendous long range shooting done with large shot in steel loads by a friend of mine. If it will kill at long range it will certainly kill at 25 yards.
That being said, I stick with the Kent TM and old Federal TP for the most part. I'd never shoot steel in a vintage gun, unless it was some beater I didn't care about.
