Here is a pic i just found that i took of the new bismuth recovered from geese. You can see its whole but is deformed, this is #5 size

I really have no idea what the alloy is other than they say its USFW non tox approved. The pellet count is lower than the other two bismuth I have loaded with (rotometals and boss).

The bismuth we use is 9.75 instead of the 9.45-9.55 of most. I have shot 4 boxes of it in the last month and have had ZERO, and i truly mean ZERO fractured pellets recovered. I have recovered a couple dozen whole pellets up against breast bone or in the gut cavities (mallards and canada geese)...

#4 and #3/5. The standard stuff they claim doesn't fracture due to the copper coating.

Every single duck or goose I have cleaned in the last two years. Every. Single. One. From 3 different shooters. Both factory and reloaded shells using their shot. Most every other waterfowler I have talked to has experienced the same and have moved on from their products. Havent cleaned any...

It is actually tin plated, but i believe it has to do with the alloy.

It doesnt shatter into shards when it hits the bird, is completely round, and is denser (heavier).

Glad to see more guys getting in on the meat grinder game! I bet pheasant brats (or any cased sausage) are very good. Id treat them like deer and cut 50/50 with pork butt and use natural hog casings. I have a commercial stuffer so making sausages are super easy, i am not sure how well a grinder...

Most all wildlife are tough as can be, nature has a way of fixing itself!

Take a look at salt creek ammo, they have some special loads for old guns. If they arent on his website, you can contact and ask about custom loadings. Hes super nice to work with and as far as bismuth goes, he uses the same shot I do and it is by far the best on the market. Night and day way...

I am going to say yes, i personally would not risk it as tss is much much harder than steel. However... The british have been loading it in lead shot wads and claim since the pellets are so small (7-10) that it doesnt score barrels. On the other hand, in the USA TSS is loaded commercially in...

Im shooting 3/4oz 9s at 1490fps. No shot in birds yet, although all close shots. Im shooting skeet and LM chokes, which is a 30 and 35yd setup in my gun. If I go LM/IM its 35yd 50yd+ (it has adequate penetration to about 80yd). Im not going to shoot a pheasant that far, but i guess its there if...

Figuring a 25 yard shot, your poa should be a foot in front of the bird then adjusted for lead from there. Any case a rising going away bird should be completely covered by the barrel, otherwise you are shooting tail feathers.

Your barrel is bent if you saw the bird on a going away rising shot and killed it. Or you got extremely lucky.

Thats me with woodcock. I hear the flush and I just see tan/white wing flashes through the timber if I am lucky. Every time i try to shoot one its a lost cause

Snipe are the same way, its the most fun hunting I have each year. You have about a second to shoot it before its gone, and they zigzag back and forth. Like you said it makes pheasant look like shooting a beach ball blowing slowly in the wind. I struggle to understand when people say pheasant...

People who dont want to miss 10,000 times learning that instictive shooting

Very very low chance they both broke randomly at the exact same time. I would say your charger is broken.

Pretty sure i saw that picture on Facebook yesterday? I hope to hell I am out enjoying the company of a good dog at that age, and long after! What a blessing

You are looking for a rem 1100 barrel that only says 2 3/4" on it and has two gas ports. Full choke will be most readily available, then modified, then remchoke system.
