Steel shot bullets were first used in the late 19th century as an alternative to lead ammunition. Steel shot gained popularity for its environmental benefits and is commonly used in hunting waterfowl to comply with regulations on lead toxicity.
No, lead does not make a streak. Lead is a soft metal that leaves a gray mark when scraped against a surface, but it does not produce a streak like some minerals do.
There are 16 ounces in a pound, so it takes 16 ounces of lead to make a pound.
A "pencil lead" is a mixture of the graphite allotrope of carbon mixed with clay and baked hard. While a pencil lead will conduct electricity, it can not be used to make a light bulb.

Steel shot is made of steel, while lead shot is made of lead. Steel shot is lighter than lead shot, provides a harder impact, and is non-toxic, making it a popular choice for waterfowl hunting where lead shot is prohibited.
Chilled lead shot has less antimony than "magnum lead shot" and therefore is softer than Magnum lead shot. Though I have never noticed a difference between the two, some say the chilled shot doesn't break clay birds as well at the range.

Lead shot can float in water due to surface tension. When the lead shot is placed on the surface of the water, the surface tension of the water creates a thin barrier that can support the weight of the lead shot, causing it to float.
Lead shot is a large quantity of lead pellets of a specific sizes. It is often used for shotgun cartridges especially for bird hunting. Lead shot is also sewn into mesh bags and used as weight for diving.
Steel shot is generally lighter than lead shot, which can affect its performance and range. Steel shot is also non-toxic, making it a more environmentally friendly option compared to lead shot. Additionally, some areas have regulations that require the use of non-toxic shot, which makes steel shot a necessary alternative.
Steel shot is made of non-toxic steel and is used as a substitute for lead shot in ammunition for hunting, particularly waterfowl, to comply with environmental regulations. Lead shot, on the other hand, is made of toxic lead and is being phased out due to its negative impact on the environment and wildlife.
It shouldn't. It is supposed to be lead free.
Yes you can. Lead Shot is Lead Shot. I shoot all kinds of different sizes of shot out of my Mossberg and Remington Shotguns. What you do not want to do is shot a slug out of barrel made for shot. Get a rifled barrel for that.
