What a hyperbolic reply. We just want them to use steel shot. It's really not a big deal.

...says somebody who doesn't shoot. Its a big deal. Steel shot isn't just about being a different metal. Its about a quarter of the specific gravity. A quarter of the momentum.

You shoot steel from the same barrel as lead, it's a quite different effect. Range, drop, spread are all different, and lesser.

That convenience is worth the terrible environmental impact to you?
The environmental impact has not been measured in a meaningful way. Its hyperbole so far. And its not convenience; its a necessity for many.
