I shoot my reloaded bismuth 1 1/8oz out of all my vintage Damascus and steel guns. I load 1 1/4oz for my 10ga guns. I used 10 boxes of Rio bismuth this year and was very happy. I can't reload bismuth for what Rio sells it for especially when it went on sale at Academy Sports this last fall.
The best non-tox in my opinion is Kent TM. I use it in my Super Fox only.I use it for late season mallards and it is very deadly and patterns very well in my Super. I look forward to Kent Bismuth and will give up reloading 12 GA if it becomes readily avaliable and priced competitively with Rio.
That's interesting. As someone who has never reloaded but is seriously considering it, is it even worth looking into for non-toxic loads? From the savings standpoint.
Thanks
Joe
