Practice with lead.
Waterfowl with bismuth.
Money wise, you’ll never shoot enough bismuth to warrant all the barrel and choke work on a $300.00 shotgun to shoot steel.
Oh, and I have a REM m-11 12 ga and a Savage Arms “Montgomery Wards Ranger 16ga”, both with polychokes.
That was the hot economical setup around here after WWll. If you had money you could spring for the Browning w/ the mag cutoff.
These are very durable and plentiful shotguns.
$300-450 around here depending on condition.
