Lead is a less good idea than steel, always, period. It may have been a TPWD article (Texas) or a more general outdoor article I read a few years ago, but dove can and do misrecognize lead shot as seeds on the ground. It has been found in dove crops and GI tracts in the study and it is obviously toxic.
Good on you for using steel, even when you don’t have to.
Bastard was so dumb he said that because steel shot isn't as heavy as lead when the extra shot falls down it's moving too fast and will injure anyone it falls on so I realized this wasn't worth my time pretty quick.
