Niceshot is also available for a comparable $60 per kilo a www.ecotungsten.com. In many peoples eyes, a superior product to bismuth and can be loaded with lead data.

I've shot some of the NiceShot loaded RST shells and can agree that they're far superior to any bismuth shells I ever used.

I believe Bismuth is less dense and more fragile (needs to be loaded with buffer) than NiceShot. For about the same price as NiceShot, what are the advantages of Bismuth? Also, it looks like the Bismuth is out of stock in sizes BB-#4. I reload NiceShot (Ecotungsten) and it works great.
