Craig, I think someone is going to produce acceptable bismuth shot to serve a niche market---if it's there. Making good bismuth shot is not beyond the capability of members here. The Aussies blazed the trail going on 15 years ago. Not likely the break-through commercially will come from one of the big companies; more likely one of those practical geniuses who see a need and want to make a modest living from it. Breaking the legal impediments is probably the main hitch. Once that's done it should be clear sailing. If there's a dollar to be made in heaven or bismuth, someone will find a way to build Ezekiel's Ladder to get there. Regards, King
