What is the most widespread material to make shotgun shots of?

  1. Steel

  2. Lead

  3. Copper

  4. Plastic

The correct answer is: Lead

Shotgun shots are small spherical pellets that are used to shoot projectiles for shotguns. These pellets come in different materials such as steel, lead, copper, and plastic. However, when it comes to shotgun shots, lead is the most commonly used material as steel pellets can cause barrel damage and plastic pellets may shatter. Copper is a popular alternative due to its non-toxic properties, but it is not as widespread as lead due to its higher cost. Therefore, B Lead is the most widespread material to make shotgun shots of.
