Steel shot

Hi, Is steel shot magnetic? Are there any implications of putting magnetic material inside the speaker cabinet (Von Schweikert VR-4 JR), practically next to the driver magnet? The same question goes for Micro bearing sold specifically for that purpose. I'm little leary about using uncoated lead shot. Regards.

Steel shot tends to get magnetized depending on magnetic permitivity, strength of the driver and the distance from such.
I have a friend who's using Atabites steel shots and after removing them they didn't seem to be magnetized.
