Bismuth Shot Impact Energies?

[William Parks]

So to correct my definition of "low pressure" loads, I talked with the owner a little bit today and there is some interpreting to be done. Their stinger loads are the light 1oz loads that still have about 10,000 psi. He was under the impression that Damascus barrels (to no fault of his own given the common misconception) are proofed at around 5,000psi. Comparing the stinger loads from Boss to the bismuth loads from RST that they advertise are safe for Damascus, the loads are very similar. I'm waiting for some more technical specs, but the Boss guy is going to assess things based on the new information.

I would love it if these shells would be safe for my gun, as they are putting out new production daily on their inventory

William: Please keep us in the loop going forward regarding the pressure stuff....

Thanks
