    got wasted by young blood

    MV differences between steel and lead accounts for fuck all with a shotgun and moving target.
    It is a good selling gimmick tho.
    I do not change anything in the way I address any target when using either. I still pull the trigger when it looks right and targets break or birds fold if I have my shit together.

    How did you come to that conclusion. Or is it just because if you say its true then it must be
    And if steel is slowing up considerably to match lead at "shootable? Ranges" then it would imply that its not hitting as hard as lead would be anyway and is the reason why so many people hate the stuff to begin with.
    But then your argument would back up the anti steel brigade even though thats not your intention. Bizzare.

    Breaking clays and stopping game birds are different things.
