I think that you have made a very good point , Dean. The constriction or other factors
in the makeup of forcing cone-choking may have tipped the metallurgy scales enough to cause flaking and disintegration of a portion of the copper-plated bismuth shot... at least in this 3-in Fox.

It does beg the question whether Boss research did extensive tests to determine the
end user performance of its plated bismuth against unplated bismuth shot pellets.

But again we come to the old truism that every shotgun is a law unto itself.
