Bi is pretty hard though - that's why I was wondering. I've had a few pellets shatter, but most are basically reusable. With copper coated lead, I always thought is was something about penetration and reducing drag on entry. Not sure where that idea came from, but certainly it was pre-internet.

Anyway, copper cant hurt. Those shells should be perfect for ducks and pheasants.
