I'd appreciate hearing opinions on steel shot. Is it as useless
as people say it is?

Also, If I'm pheasant hunting in a marsh during the waterfowl
season, am I required to use steel or can I load up with lead?

Is there any way to harden existing old shotgun barrels so that they
can be used with steel shot? How about something like ion implantation?

Thanks,

Gary B.
