2. I think this may answer the question of the steel vs lead shot question



"As you can see from the above chart, steel shot comes in slightly larger sizes than lead shot. Steel doesn't have the density of lead and larger shot is needed to achieve a range comparable to that of lead shot."

Cheney was using 7-1/2 shot, which apparently wouldn't come in steel.
