I don't think it means that steel shot is better than lead but that it is better than it was when it first came out and that hunters have learned to use it with its limitations..so less crippling because you don't take those fringe shots like you would be tempted to take with lead ...I don't mind using steel in my modern made guns,I long ago got used to its limitations and the improvements in shell design have improved it a lot.... what really gets me is the rip off prices being charged for vintage gun compatible nontox.....they price that stuff like its made with gold shot....
