I just started loading Bismuth this season . So far just in 10 gauge guns of which all but one are damscus . Anyway I use the REM hull , SP-10 wad , 30 grains SR7625 , a WIN CCI or REM 209 primer and 1 1/4 weighed ounces of Bismuth #1 .

That load patterned well in my W&C Scott circa 1881 hammerless 10 gauge and both of my hammerless Parker EH guns . Haven't had a chance to try it in my other four 10's but in time !

FWIW , when I purchased 6.6 pounds of Bismuth #1 from Precision Reloading 3 or 4 months ago it was $185 . I recently looked at the prices in anticipation of getting some more and the same container of #1 is now $205 . When I bought what I have BB and #2 were the same price as #1 . Now with the latest price increase BB and #2 are now shown at $225 for 6.6 pounds if my memory serves .
