A discussion on the Parker Collectors site claims that phone calls and e-mails to the folks who make Bismuth shot indicate they have ceased production as of April 30th. Can anybody confirm or add info? If this turns out to be true I would expect prices on existing stock to soar.

Wait till they open and ask them if they are out of business yet and is this the janitor your talking to?

OH well, looks like you rich boys will have to kick in a little more for the heavy shot. I see it as low as 3.50 per shot. Heck just wait for them to land by your string of decks and get'em with your .22.

I could go on and on for pages about this lead shot BS lie that has set in the minds of the gullible public.

Lord, I hate a lying government!

This is what comes of Administrative law that has been forced down our throats for over 100 years in America.

Thank you, all of you lowest form of scum pond life, Lawyers.

"lowest form of scum pond life, Lawyers."

Once again, what possible good to come from dropping casual but vicious insults directed toward other readers of this Forum? Who are likely here just to enjoy, learn, and possibly contribute? A Forum this is SUPPOSE TO BE ABOUT GUNS?

Bob Peterson, founder of Peterson Publishing, part owner of Bismuth Cartridge and the bismuth shot patents, died this spring. With bismuth prices through the roof I suspect sales were down and the accountants that are overseeing his estate didn't like the ROI that they were getting.

This is an opportunity for all you backyard shot makers to set up for bismuth shot production. There is data from Australia that outlines how and all you have to do is buy a 20K lb. container of bismuth powder to get a fair discount. Anyone want to accept the liability for the commercial loading of shells?

OK then learn this about this sport we love. The treason that has been put upon America's people comes at the hands of the self appointed ruling class called lawyers.

Did you vote to ban lead shot? Did anybody vote to ban lead shot?

Where is the hue and cry of foul from the good Lawyers about this Administrative law crap? Don't hear any, why? The reason is clear, the plague set upon this once free people comes from the lawyer class that plagues us to line their pockets. It is that simple.

Contributions from the lawyer class, I await the moment!

Could we kindly stay on topic. I might be a new guy but I know what thread jacking is. I want to know more about the situation with Bismuth shot not debate the pros and cons of lawyers. Lead shot is banned from waterfowling right or wrong, get over it. Bismuth shot availability is important to classic double gun owners.

Yes, lead shot is banned from waterfowl shooting. I will live with it, but I will not get over it, just like I live with the fact a lot of other freedoms have been taken away from me in the past 60 years; but I will NEVER get over losing them. If they take all your guns away, you WILL live with it, but if you can get over it, you may as well give up now and avoid the hassle later.

Al, we don't vote on every single law - but I would agree with any law to ban lead shot in waterfowl hunting. And you know that I shoot only old guns that cannot handle steel.

The lead shot problem was real and there is a lot of good data to support it. I've posted more than once on the data that supports it.

If Bi shot is gone, that's a serious blow to me.

We have lost a lot of freedoms, lead-shot waterfowling, the use of DDT, and a few more come to mind as things we are better off without.

Al, no sign of the postman yet
