I already have one crown in my mouth from chomping down on a steel pellet, and vividly remember the "crack" as I bit down.........friggin hate that shet
Unless I make a head shot water swat, I filet every duck and run a head flattened toothpick thru each hole, twisting to open up as it goes thru. Hate to admit it, but when steel first became a requirement, I carried about 15 lead shells (2 3/4' Express 7 1/2 shot), along with my steel. At the time, I shot an old SKB pump, and could keep track of them better as they were ejected, and made sure to sink asap. What I found was the speed dif between the shells would screw me up on the lead if i wasn't paying close attention, as it was noticeably slower than the steel. Finally gave in when I put a terror tube in a newer gun, and switched to #4 steel to kill cripples. I'm still pissed that we had to make the switch to steel though
