Bismuth Shot for Reloading?
Anyone have a 7 lb. bottle of bismuth shot in sizes 4 or 5 or 6 for sale? Anyone using bismuth for waterfowl hunting?

Don't have any for reloading but it is all I use for waterfowl anymore. Last time I looked into it there was very little savings in reloading vs buying factory, which was surprising.

I ran the numbers a while ago, and the direct costs (not counting press and other gear) added up to MORE than factory stuff. You can save by reloading steel, but not non-tox. At least when I checked it. Surprised me too.
