That's in a nutshell. It was bad "science".

It's impossible to tell but I wish it could be known how many more thousands die each year from steel shot crippling than did from leaf pellet ingestion. After using steel for a number of years, and switching over totally to bismuth and other better non-tox, and seeing the difference in it first hand, it's my opinion that the number would be staggering. And, good as it is, bismuth still isn't nearly lethal as lead.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
