Post by: Mr56Jeep on May 08, 2012, 12:22:33 PM: The word "prefer " is a little misleading.

I went all Non-Toxic because it is simpler. I don't have to worry about that one left over lead round from when I was <????>, last time I was out.

Lead for clays and steel for everything else (Except Turkey I went with bizmith :chuckle:).

steel shot is a big fat jerk!
at ten dollars a box it really cuts into my beer money.
it only wounds birds that I shoot at, especially when they are 50 +yards out.
I broke my last toof on a steel pellet.
the only people who would voluntarily hunt with steel are pansy ass tree hugging fern petting hippy types that still like to go out and kill things... the dirty SOB's.
its just not as good as lead shot, kinda like my cat is not as good as my dog.
if you think steel is better than lead, you will make little baby jesus cry.
sprinkling poisonous metals like lead all around helps exercise more of my american rights, can't do that with steel can you?

too soon? :dunno: :chuckle:
