Not to quibble, Miller, but how would five or 10 shots for a couple ducks or a limit keep you close to home? Some days I don't get a shot. My bismuth handloads cost $1.42 and 15-20 shots from a non-toxic $20/pound seems within reason to me, a freelancer with no previous-employment pension working 'til I drop. (Owning my home was a light reference to HomelessJoe!)
