anyone able to reload / supply some non toxic 20g subs

[quentyn]

hi all

 

i have a small need for some non toxic subsonic loads, steel wont retain the ft/lbs so it will have to be bismuth / tmx i think

i have 3 questions

 

1, will bismuth or TMX retain the energy like lead ?

2, anyone know how i can get some cartridges made up

3, can i just tip out some 20 gauge 30g no5 subsonics and replace shot with non toxic ?

 

loads needed for some potential pest control near / over water

 

Q

1, neither tmx or bismuth will match lead.

2, Quentin, where are you located? Just give us a rough area.

3, do not break a shell and re pack it. It can end up badly.

4, my advice would be to reload bismuth, minimum a couple larger shotsizes.

I have loaded TMX in my 410 with excellent results but do not know how it would perform at sub sonic levels as I am driving it fairly hard. ? Call Clay & Game and see what he has to suggest.

if one was so inclined you could find a lead subsonic recipe, maybe knock off alittle powder (half a grain or some such, depending on pressure and speed) and replace it with same volume of bismuth.
