Why do you like steel shot a lot? Steel shot is something we are forced to work with, and if most shooters had their way--wouldn't even exist. If I've missed something in steel shot in the last 25 years, please bring me up to speed! (anyone!)

Especially for an aged shotgun, it's not at all friendly to a bore.

Also, if your whole goal here is to save dough over buying factory shotshells, I suggest you get on board with buying as much as you can in bulk. Buying in bulk is BY FAR the best way to reduce your per-shot cost, all the way across the board.
