Chilled lead shot has less antimony than "magnum lead shot" and therefore is softer than Magnum lead shot. Though I have never noticed a difference between the two, some say the chilled shot doesn't break clay birds as well at the range.

Lead shot is a large quantity of lead pellets of a specific sizes. It is often used for shotgun cartridges especially for bird hunting. Lead shot is also sewn into mesh bags and used as weight for diving.
No , Steel Shots are not poisonous not environmental hazardous They break up in small pieces and can be reused after melting and reforming it
Yes. Lead shot may be safely fired from a shotgun that is made for steel shot. Problems arise when you fire steel shot from an older shotgun that is made for lead shot only- the barrel is softer metal, and make be scratched by the steel shot.
It shouldn't. It is supposed to be lead free.
Yes you can. Lead Shot is Lead Shot. I shoot all kinds of different sizes of shot out of my Mossberg and Remington Shotguns. What you do not want to do is shot a slug out of barrel made for shot. Get a rifled barrel for that.
Not outright, but if the birds are shot with lead pellets the predatory birds can get lead poisoning.
No. If it is marked 'lead only' then it must have been manufactured after steel shot was available but not designed to withstand the additional friction from steel shot.
Depends on the size of the shot, whether the shot is lead, steel or something else, the weight of the load and the gauge of the shell. A lead 1 oz load of #6 birdshot is about 225 pellets.
