    Using up what i have in stock, and in this at the same time buying time to develop modern heavier than lead ammunition, that can out perform Lead in every count from a performance angle. Lead is headed for the history books like tea clippers and Steam trains . The alternatives are there, its just many do not want the change.

    you've gone from "steel" to "heavier than lead ammunition",why if steel is so good?,stop the waffling and try and respond with a proper answer,i know "heavier than lead ammo" will out perform lead,

    many of the old writers were hard acts to follow, and the modern writers will be on modern topics. The steel bias mentioned by the op would never have been a town gun topic. But had it been today. Steel would be getting a mention.

     I am not 100% sure the young as in Teens or 20s do much mag reading any more. it could be in the fullness of time we see a move to online even podcasts etc and input of a broader range of subjects. This sport by its very nature is bland. Its technicalities be it gun fit reloads technique decoys field craft and etiquette are  subjects that have been done to death for years now. We need more inovation from our media. genuine new stuff Chokes are chokes but Those that do more than just your typical choke, need genuine reviews with comparisons some could want to see and draw conclusions from.

    Gear reviews interest us all, but Forums are probably better places for input from the real world and the potential of writers patronising certain brands is often at the back of many readers minds when reading reviews.

    Forums do not have this, and facebook just does not work its too open and not detailed enough or achievable to retrieve info. You could say good old magazines are instantly retrievable for info if you remembered where it was.

    I think shooting is short of Forums worldwide. Facebook and social media killed them, but in truth , they really have not done their day in the need just their popularity. Look at this very forum. in the uk today there is this shooting forum or this shooting forum.

    Hunting life stalking directory are ok. but compared to 20 years ago we are very short on forums now.

    .

     

    Start your own thread me and dozens of others will be along to post on it promise.

     My experiences with steel as a waterfowl shot initialy morphed into pigeons fox and other shooting. i use steel for much more than just wildfowl now. I have not totaly given up on lead just yet, but i will openly admit to seeing not  a single aspect  of Lead  that makes it more appealing to use than a well developed steel load in a suitable shotgun.

     

     

    so why are you still using lead?
