I appreciate all the responses. I needed some confirmation on using steel. I'm not old enough to have used lead on waterfowl, and steel has always worked on big honkers, so I couldn't see why steel wouldn't work for gobblers. I agree not ideal, but truth be told, right now I'd go hunting with a sling shot if it was all I had. I have seen some of the expensive, specialty ammo for sale online but beyond the price tag, most places like Midway are so backed up on orders I likely wouldn't get it in time for opening day. I'm going to head out this weekend and pattern some of the #4 steel shot. I do still plan on checking some local stores over the next few days as well.
Happy Hunting! Stay Healthy!
