steel shot
Iron-free metallic projectiles
Steel shot consists of small, spherical steel pellets used as ammunition in shotguns or as an abrasive medium for cleaning and polishing metal surfaces.
In hunting, steel shot replaced lead shot for waterfowl to reduce environmental contamination: Federal regulations require steel shot for duck hunting.
In metalworking, steel shot blasts surfaces clean of rust, scale, or old coatings.
