roostshooter1 Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Has anybody seen any prices yet for the new gamebore bismuth loads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 According to their site, it only comes in sizes 4 and 5. It would have to be very cheap for me to consider buying any. I doubt that would be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roostshooter1 Posted August 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 I would buy 4s for inland duck shooting but not 5s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muncher Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Unless your using an old gun ,whu bother use a good steel load of 3s and they will be just as good and loads cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roostshooter1 Posted August 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 I never really got on with steels I did try the atomic line steels last year which were okay but i usually stick with bismuth or heavy shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TONY R Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) You need to stick with it, Steel is good. It kind of normal now some how, if by a miracle the option of going back to lead appeared on the scene. lead as lost its apeal some what now, im ok with steel now in fact i go so far as to say i like it. .

Ttfjlc Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Check out Just Cartridges, last time I looked they were cheaper than eley bismuth but still over a pound a pop, might be cheaper in your local gunshop though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get stuck Buy the PWS and I'll load it for you I've got cases wads and powder 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6.5x55SE Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Just a thought I know where you could buy some 20ga 3" Tungsten Matrix that I'm sure would be Cheaper and better than the Bismuth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
