Default Bismuth

Just got some Bismuth for short 10 waterfowl loads, shot is more like fine gravel than typical round shot. Several sizes and shapes, mostly tear drop shapes.
Anyone have this experience with Bismuth?

Hello Scott
Yes Bismuth shot doesn't look very symmetrical, but boy does it shoot well and throws a dense pattern. It penetrates much better than steel as it is more dense!

Hope this helps!

FWIW , a couple months ago I found out that Ponsness Warren WILL make a new LS-1000 10 gauge 3 1/2" machine into a 2 7/8" machine for the measly extra cost of $30 !
