One is made of steel, and the other of lead, obviously. The steel is harder, and won't expand as much, but also isn't toxic, which is important in instances where you fail to recover the animal, so that other wildlife won't eat the carcass, eat the lead shot, and die from it.
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.
Steel shot is made of steel, while lead shot is made of lead. Steel shot is lighter than lead shot, provides a harder impact, and is non-toxic, making it a popular choice for waterfowl hunting where lead shot is prohibited.

No, stainless steel does not contain lead.
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.
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!
Mild steel
When vinegar reacts with stainless steel, it can cause corrosion and damage to the stainless steel surface. This can lead to a loss of its protective layer and make it more susceptible to rusting and staining.
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.
Copper, aluminum, steel and lead in that order.
