RST Bismuth
 

I’m considering a box of RST bismuth 5’s for my 16 gauge VH. Yes, they are pricy, but this 30” FxF Parker is begging to take a few ducks!

Any feedback on these loads would be appreciated.

RST's are great shells. I use Kent Bismuth loads in my VH 12 gauge and they are also available in 16 gauge.

Thanks. I have a bunch of the 16 ga. Kent Bismuth for my newer 16's, but it's 2 3/4" and fairly spicy at 1300 fps, so I am hesitent to use it in my unaltered 1913 VH.

Dave, the RSt's are probably "softer" shooting shells but the velocity on both are 1200 FPS. The RST's are 7/8 ounce loads and the Kent are a very close 1 Ounce load.

The Kent’s I have are 1 oz. @ 1300 FPS. They are labeled as such and I verified it with my chronograph.

Dave, they very well may be, but i was just taking the velocity that Kent lists on there load specs.

I bought some RST 10 gauge Bismuth for use this upcoming season. Their old Nice Shot was excellent and I was sorry to see it discontinued.

I was 5' from the screens.

I bought a box of the RST Bismuth over the phone and will pick it up in Medford next Thursday. My VH 16 has a date with a duck in October.

Dave,

I think you are wise to go with the lighter pressures. Post a picture or two of your gun and the ducks it takes this Fall.
