I am looking for a ballistics report on steel shot. I found one for lead, but have not found anything for steel.

In particular, I am looking to find the flat trajectory distance of #4 steel, 1 1/16 oz out a a 2 3/4" shell, 12 g. Just how far will such travel before hitting the ground? The chart I found for lead showed the angles necessary to get out to different distances.

Here's the charts for lead: http://www.shotgunsportsmagazine.com/do ... istics.pdf

In this chart it takes a 30* angle to shoot #4 lead shot approx. 280 yards. There has to be something similar for steel. Any/all help is greatly appreciated!

Max range of #4 steel with a 3 ft. velocity of 1500 fps is 671 feet. Takes a 23.5 degree initial angle to accomplish it.
