I’ve been checked by several federal and state game wardens. Many times they either use a magnet or they have a device that tests conductivity of the metal inside. The magnet is an older method they used to use and really doesn’t work well for bismuth versus lead since both are virtually non-magnetic. The new devices I’ve seen they take each shell and put inside. Some game wardens just look at the shells.
