This sounds intriguing.

Ouch, I shoot Boss bismuth during late SD pheasant season. I have 2 boxes left of 16 ga. Got a couple boxes of Kent bismuth 12 ga, but I don't like their 1300+ fps recoil.

I met a fascinating fellow at the Southern while browsing the tents on Friday or Saturday. He was a US business owner with a UK location as well. He told me about a non toxic shot
material the he was working on with some folks in the UK. Their testing indicated a “near lead” ballistic properties. I don’t remember the details but he believed that they were close to bring the product to market. I believe Horton/Horton was involved. I wonder if this is it.

I use Kent Upland Bismuth , for both upland and duck hunting, sold in 25 round boxes . Works fine for jump shooting ducks in 16 and 12 gauge

Their marketing writers need to learn the difference between "its" and "it's"
