Steel shot vs clay pigeon - how far does it break them? 

A lot of people complaining about steel shot, but in reality most of us will be shooting within 60 yards 80/90% of the time and unless you’re an Olympic level shooter, your abilities will fail before the cartridge does.

The shooter contradicts himself. He begins by saying there is no difference in the way you shoot with different cartridges, but is clearly amazed by how much lead it takes to hit a clay at these distances with steel shot. He begins by missing behind, but finally adjusts his lead forward until he is able the hit the targets at this distance. In addition, he remarks at how much more lead the shot requires as he moves back from 100 yards. This clearly indicates that the steel shot is slowing much more quickly at these distances than lead. This is exactly what velocity testing shows when using steel shot; if you start with a high velocity steel load, it preforms roughly the same as a slight lower velocity lead load out to 35 yards or so, but then starts to slow rather quickly. I have shot 28 gram steel loads of US number 7 shot at more conventional distances and they absolutely crush the targets. They crush your shoulder too, but that is because they start off at a higher velocity.

Some great shooting what would be good is to see how far it will break a static clay … take out the emergent of the shooter and look at just the cartridge 👍🏼

Great Nick really interesting how far out they hit ,tried some S&B 7s 24g very good at 30 40 yards .

What size shot?

Incredible!

I've never met Nick, but I used to alter his stocks. Oh, BTW, don't forget that as well as lead, he had to aim above to allow for drop.

That’s amazing 👍👏

Don't have the same carry has lead,what size shot was he using

I know my eyes are not as good as they used to be but I find I can’t see the clays in these videos .

Incredible. What choke were you using given its steel shot.

When I witnessed at that missing, I thought it was John Lee

This Boy can shoot though....A LOT OF LEED!! not lead...!!

That was about 50 - 60 meters max

Have you beat Mr digweeds record ?

120 yards at half choke 😱
