Steel shot is generally lighter than lead shot. For example, a steel shot pellet typically weighs about 30% less than a lead pellet of the same size due to the difference in density between the two materials. This means that to achieve similar ballistic performance, a larger quantity of steel shot is often needed compared to lead shot. Thus, when using steel shot, hunters may opt for a larger size to compensate for the weight difference and maintain effective range and penetration.
