I grew up with lead, went to steel when forced to, researched it, loaded it, and ended up with 1-5/8 -1's or B's in my 10 ga o/u. That said I never liked it, just had too many cripples.
Then I started using 1-3/8 bismuth #4's or tungsten polymer #5' in 12 ga. and have never seen any reason to go back to steel. My son has switched to heavy tungsten (ok in his newer Beretta) and really likes it. I really worry that someday 'They' will force us to use nontoxic on upland birds.
Interesting side note, this year for the first time ever, I had a DOW guy ask to see my shells.
