I watched a feller downing ducks with tin shot for years.

You can have mine, they`re about 15 years old and have knocked down duck, they did not kill them though (3 inch 34gm 3`s)

It would seem to create more problems than solve, density being a glaring issue.

[alendil]

so general opinion is sh.....t stay away

[Guest cookoff013]

its soft and lower density than steel, making it much poorer choice.

Let's just say that if the bright spark who came up with the formula for energy had decided to make it M squared times V instead of M times V squared we'd be in bother.

No not at the fayer whally.

 

Shot a few myself.

And zinc!

Before they scrubbed around it, I was asked by the manufacturers to field test zinc. They did work, just at a severely reduced range. That is until I got onto the clay pigeon size. Never mind your teeth, the recoil rattled the windows in the range control building 200 yards away. After the first pair, I refused point blank to shoot any more. Wish I'd kept a few now as collectors items.
