With the rising cost of metals including lead I can not imagine what a bag of Bismuth shot would sell for.

I expect that with the number of people running little "shot stills" these days, some enterpising sole will start making Bi shot to serve the old gun nitch but it will alway be expensive.

We are in a world market and 1/4 of that market lives in China seeking a better life.

I recently purchased a new SxS so I could hunt ducks with modern ammo, simply because I did not mess with reloading anything but lead for my old Damascus barrels. Bi reloads were my second choice.
