I have shot some Kent 16ga bismuth out of my Foxes; when I bought it I thought it was expensive, but now I'm glad I bought it when I did ! It's a little stiffer than I like to shoot in 'em but for the few shots I actually get in the non-tox areas I figure I'm OK. From what I've read about bismuth 6's would be more like a 7 in lead.

If you're shooting steel you'll need to go up 1-2 shot sizes over what you'd usually shoot. Preferably 2 sizes. If you normally use 7 1/2 lead, bump to 5 steel for the same downrange energy. I hate steel but it is what it is.
