Steel is less dense than lead, so it is a given steel pellets need to be larger for the same effect.. TSS is more dense than lead, so conversely TSS pellets can be smaller for the same effect.
And before you were shown the door...I'm sure they mentioned density.
ABOUT TUNGSTEN Lead has a density of 11.34g/cc giving it more inertia and energy at impact than steel shot which comes in at 7.86g/cc. ... Alternative non-toxic alloys have been created with densities as high as 13-15 g/cc. None, however, have ever come close to our TSS, which has the ultimate density of 18.1 g/cc.
