I assumed he was saying that his usual load is the same as what he is now using, but I may be wrong in that assumption.
My experience with bismuth shot has been different, and pleasing. I have used some Bismuth branded shells, but now use reloads of 1 1/4 oz. #4B. A couple of weeks ago I was shooting these loads out of my HE SuperFox. A drake mallard came over from behind and did not attempt to light in the spread, but headed straight away. I put the right barrel into his rear at about 35 yards. He shuddered, continued on, and dropped dead aways out. He was retrieved by Max. IMO, this is the hardest shot in duck hunting to drop a duck dead to rights. Most times, with steel, he will continue on to die someplace unseen, and unretrieved. I usually won't even take that shot with steel. I am more impressed with bismuth than ever. I'd rather use lead............... but it is what it is.
