Default Tom Armbrust on Bismuth non-toxic

Valuable report, thank you. Only question I have concerns mention from time to time that early bismuth in shells and jugs was brittle, inferior to bismuth shot today. I have a couple seven-pound jugs of Bismuth Cartridge Company sizes 4 and 5 bought 15 years ago which I stopped using because of unsatisfactory results. (One jug also one-inch-plus higher than the other.) Opinions, please.

Side note, I see Roto Metals is selling one pound Bismuth sample bags. Might try it out.
