Usually the shot size is upped with steel, so there is not much difference in weight, or no difference at all. Also the steel shots can be (and are) shot at much higher velocities and thus the exposure time for wind is shorter. Although same weight steel shot is bigger than lead shot and has bigger surface area (wind/air resistance), but taking the greater velocity into account that shouldn't matter that much.
