    Steel shot is not that pricy to buy. And a cheap reloader like a mec600. Then get a conversion kit. May seem like a expense. But once your setup. It will be easy to reload as you please.

    Its more that with steel shot you have to go up a few shot sizes generally for it to be effective and there is not much in a 28ga shell to start with.
    Which is why a load of TSS shot size 9 is so bloody effective, there is more of it and its denser than lead so it kills well its just eyewateringly expensive.
    tetawa, Woody and Micky Duck like this.
