What are the characteristics of steel shot compared to lead shot in shotguns?

non-toxic
lighter than lead shot, reducing velocity and distance
harder than lead, keeping the pattern tighter
scope

The correct answer is: lighter than lead shot, reducing velocity and distance

Steel shot is a non-toxic alternative to lead shot. This means that it is safer for the environment and for those handling it. In terms of characteristics compared to lead shot, it is actually heavier instead of lighter. Steel shot is also harder than lead, which helps to keep the pattern tighter. The option D of "scope" does not have any relevance to the characteristics of steel shot compared to lead shot. Overall, the correct answer is B because while it is lighter than lead, this actually helps to reduce the velocity and distance of the shot.
