An ounce of lead and an ounce of steel are not the same as far as developed pressure is concerned. The steel shot will have a much sharper pressure spike. It will develope this spike at one precise moment. The highest pressure the lead develops is like a curve and does this over a much longer time span. Of course these occur in milli seconds of time.

If hulls and wads are your only problem reloading steel shot, we have several members here on DHC that live in Canada. I am sure they will share with you where they get their hulls and wads. Surely Canada has trap and skeet ranges? Thats where I get my free hulls. I get by just fine shooting and reloading with mostly 2 3/4" hulls, which is what you will find at the trap range.
Being in Canada, I am sure your shooting opportunities are much better than mine are down here so you wont be needing those big heavy loads of ITX, HS or TSS. Unless of course you choose to shoot a 28ga like Lostknife.
