The 21st edition is greatly expanded with new components, like our TPS 28ga and .410 non-toxic shot wads. It also has new technical developments from our balllistic lab and many new loads for your favorite components.

Updated chapters detail the evolution of the modern high-performance shotshell; defining a link from roots of invention to modern applications. We thoroughly explain the logic behind the physics of steel shotshells, allowing the reader/handloader to better select optimal loads for their specific shooting conditions.

Knowledgeable shotgunners are talking about The Status of Steel:

  • "The light shot load/high velocity theory was first introduced to me a few years ago when I read The Status of Steel. This book really made me think about what I had been shooting ducks with, and changed my thinking and attitude about steel."
    ~Scott E. Mayer, American Rifleman magazine
  • "I picked up a copy of The Status of Steel. I read every word in it and I found it very helpful. But what I enjoyed the best was the clear and often quite humorous writing. Whoever wrote that did one hell of a job. I tend to be the kind of guy who reads all the directions and I found this manual quite worthwhile while being wryly amusing at the same time. The author had a distinctive tone that stood out from other technical writing. I'd have to say it was the best instruction manual I've ever read."
    ~B. Brunner, Brooklyn Park, MN
  • "Status of Steel manuals have opened my eyes to the science and potential behind making steel a very effective payload. I have cleanly taken ducks and geese out to 50 yards. My friends have been amazed at the effectiveness and lethality of my loads."
    ~P. Groschel, Roy, WA
  • "I just received your catalog and the Status of Steel. I am very impressed with the time you have obviously committed to this information base."
    ~
    F. Meador, Oklahoma City, OK
  • "You will be pleased to know that the information gleaned from the Status of Steel and the Mighty Ten Gauge has been a catalyst in changing the waterfowl permit to include the 10 gauge for all species and the allowance of steel shot larger than #BB. BPI's wealth of information has been an edifying experience, to say the least ,and is now having an impact in 'Down Under'."
    ~Tim Lloyd, Queensland, Australia
