[QUOTE="STM, post: 377992, member: 12827"] I reload my hulls, just like my rifle and pistol rounds so it is pretty inexpensive for me. I know that steel is more "environmentally friendly" than lead, blah, blah, blah, but for the equivalent sized shot, it just does [I]not[/I] have the knockdown power of lead because it is not as heavy or dense. If you shot #4 lead for medium sized ducks like Mallards or Woodiesb you would have to go to [I]at least [/I]#2 steel for the same knockdown. And forget it for turkey. I use #6 or #5 lead for turkey depending on the range. I can get a one shot kill with #5 out to about 45-50 yards or so. I don't know ANYONE who shoots turkey with steel so I really can't comment on what gives equivalent killing power but I would not be surprised it would be #2 steel. [/QUOTE]
