We have had steel shot in our shotguns for decades.
I had a Rem Semi Auto that shoots 3 inch Goose Duck steel loads.
I would wait until my hunting buddies or sons emptied their normal 12’s at over head geese and hammer them out of the sky with my weapon.
It should reach out and touch drones within its long range.
everyone i ever hunted with is of the opinion that steel shot is totally inferior to lead shot. the feds outlawed lead for migratory waterfowl some years back. steel shot is hard on gun barrels as well. best legal shot for waterfowl is bismuth although more expensive.
