Bismuth Handload

[Joe from MO]

I was looking around yesterday, and ran across these. They say they are safe for classic guns, but I dunno.... Sure seems pretty hot for a SxS that is almost 100 yrs old.... Says on side of box, for Modern or Classic guns.... I might shoot them out of my model 12, which is a 1946 gun..... But I'd think they have a pretty solid thump to them.

SPECS
Gauge: 12
Shell Length: 2 3/4"
Shot Weight: 1 1/4 oz
Muzzle Velocity: 1400 FPS

I ordered stuff to do some handloads.... Not to save money, because I have never saved a nickel doing handloads... But, because I enjoy doing it.

I am sure my Parker could handle those loads, but will enjoy making my own.... I can't remember the last time I killed a deer with a factory load, I don't have to do it that way, but I enjoy it....
