As the years go by it seems I'm less interested in the quantity of game killed, and more interested in the quality of the hunting experience. The satisfaction I've gotten from developing an effective steel shot load for my muzzleloader, and taking a fine Canada Goose with it makes for a very high quality experience. I hope to repeat it regularly. Important Notice - Do not assume that this load information is safe in any firearm. I have no way of pressure testing my loads, and therefore no indication that they are safe.
Steel shot has very different properties than lead shot.
Powder and shot charge weights that are safe with lead shot may not be safe with steel shot.
