4 months agoBoy most of the guys commenting are some real clueless dumbasses!!! Zero issues killing even big geese out to 40 yards with #3 or #4 steel out of my 20 gauge. Learn to judge distance and learn to shoot in front of the birds.
9 months agoNo, still sucks. You have more cripple with still than any shot on the market.
9 months agoOh so the pattern density is the same? What about flopping them on the water density. Which gets the edge there?
10 months agoI disagree with everything you just said other then number of pellets,,,steel shot is straight up garbage
10 months agoThis dude is clueless. Pattern density isn’t the same as atomic density in atom of bismuth is far heavier than an atom of steel.
10 months agoPattern density is different than metal density. Which is why #4 shot bismuth is the same pellet count as #3 steel for the same weights. #3 bismuth would be less pellets for the same weight as #3 steel. If you did the conversion. For lead you would see similar results. Lead was so great because it’s soft and malleable so instead of the shot just knifing through the bird (steel shot) the lead would dump more kinetic energy. (This is why tungsten and bismuth have become popular for non toxic shots but are more expensive).
a year agoYou forgot the part where steel slows way down upon exit, deforms less (which means the choke can’t do its job as well) and you said the weighs less part so it doesn’t hit as hard
a year agoHow's the penetration difference?? 😂 larger pellet equals more drag even before it makes contact, not to mention its a lighter metal all together slowing it down quicker. Your only looking at half the equation here
