I have "scrounged" bismuth shot from some strange sources for reloading. I once won an auction for four small bottles of SARCO bismuth shot samples, in different sizes, that had been pulled from the production line for testing, etc. I put it through the "pliers test" and it squeezed without cracking or fracturing, much like lead does. Don't know that I've ever opened a BOSS shell to do that, but it might be a good idea, for kicks and giggles.
