Default Nice Shot Shortage

Looks like the Nice Shot shortage has set in for the long term. Has anyone heard if Nice Shot is supposed to come back into stock at any time in the future? If not, has anyone thought about a substitute non-tox shot for our older waterfowl guns?

is not available any place any how a "shortage"

I had the email of the maker in Pa, i'll see if I can find it and send him a note

but- my guess is we won't ever see it again


i have one unopened kilo of nice shot #2s - I'll trade it for a 4 frame DH 10 - but only with 34 inch barrels

That is the impression I get. What is everyone using as a substitute?

I've loaded some Bismuth #1 for geese . I was under the impression this stuff was okay for damascus etc . Provided it's not loaded hot of course .

Bismuth is perfectly fine for older ( non steel rated ) guns , don't think matters how fast you run it , except for recoil . I use it with no problems.

I heard Kent may be making a 2 1/2" 12 gauge with tungsten matrix. Anyone know about that and if so is it lower pressure?
