Steel shot is generally lighter than lead shot, which can affect its performance and range. Steel shot is also non-toxic, making it a more environmentally friendly option compared to lead shot. Additionally, some areas have regulations that require the use of non-toxic shot, which makes steel shot a necessary alternative.

Lead has a higher density than steel.
Lead is much heavier than stainless steel.
density is a physical property of the material, it has nothing to do with the size of the piece. lead is 11.35 g/cc iron is 7.874 g/cc steel is between 7.75 and 8.05 depending upon type of steel.
Mild steel
Yes! Some stainless steel including some labeled "surgical" can contain lead especially if it is from China. My wife is a jeweler and has found some earring hooks she'd bought from a craft store to have a warning label on them stating the presence of lead. So beware!
Copper, aluminum, steel and lead in that order.
Yes, steel is lighter than lead. Steel is a metal alloy made primarily of iron and carbon, whereas lead is a dense metal. This difference in composition leads to steel being less dense and therefore lighter than lead.
It shouldn't. It is supposed to be lead free.
Stainless steel does not contain lead. The main component of stainless steel is iron. Stainless steel contains manganese, chromium and nickel in varying amounts. Traces of nitrogen and sulfur may also be present The carbon content varies from type to type.
