Back in about the '60s, before steel shot was a government requirement, Winchester was making steel shot skeet loads. Before it was a federal requirement, steel shot was "easy and cheap to make", selling for about $2 per box at the Winchester trap and skeet franchise ranges. As soon as steel shot became a Federal requirement, it became very difficult and expensive to make. Is that a surprise? BTW, "clay pigeons" are neither clay nor pigeons. They are mainly composed of pitch, so I've been told.
