steel shot for hd?

[TsocketslugK]

Anyone use #2 or T shot for hd or non waterfowl purpose

 

[Bud Helms]

T shot? What is that? Tungsten?

I have used #2 for HD.

I've never used the tungsten shot.

 

[Mike Irwin]

T is a designation used for steel shot. It's about .20 inches in diameter, or a little over 5mm.

I've never used it. I've never used any steel shot.

Slugs or 00 for me.

I've not been enamored of steel shot from Day One,even for geese. Using same on larger,hostile entities strikes me as nigh futile.

While Steel loads are better than before, they still come up short compared to lead.

Why not use 00? Proven track record.
