Dried cracked corn may just be the answer. Even if you miss, your helping the poor little birdies.

Y'all could switch to .410's and cut your shot use by half. Waterfoulers could change over to fishin lures, since it worked for me once I figure it's a viable option.

I figure as long as there is a fair sized market, someone will pursue a solution that fills the need. It may be expensive, but as the population increases and takes more habitat, all outdoor sports requiring natural habitat land are becoming rarer and costlier. So, I figure this sport of hunting will eventually get more and more expensive as the population increases, until it gets impractical for the working Joe (as some of it already has). So be it. It seems that the masses, in general, would rather procreate and deal with the consequences later.

Ballistic Products 7lb Bismuth $142.95. Guess I will figure out some 1oz loads for my 27/8 inch chambered 10ga damascus barreled Parker.

Builder,
I've purchased two Kilos to try out(#5's) they are not as spherical as I would have thought,but they seem to weigh about the same as lead (168 pellets to the oz,)I loaded some 1 1/8 12 ga loads, but just haven't thad a chance to pattern them.

I am going to purchase some and load some up as well. Remember, Hevi-shot is not spherical either and it patterns very well. I think that it weighs slighlty more then lead.

There is nothing as good as lead though. I am going to try some #5 Eco-tungsten. About 4 years ago, I got up very early and drove about an hour to pass shoot some geese where I have been very successful in the past. I brought my Kent TM loads in the house overnight out of the car as it was very cold. When I arrived I realized that I forgot the TM loads and decided to go out anyway. I had my 16 gauge Grulla with me and only had B&P #6 loads. I grabbed some of them and went down to the creek and waited. As usual, the geese started getting antsy down stream and took off my way to go feed. I dropped two with two shots and quickly reloaded and dropped another. All were stone dead with #6 shot. I remember thinking how great it would be to still be allowed to shoot lead at waterfowl.
