Gas seal Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Hi try Clay and Game reloading, l think it data sheet 31 . If you call them you should get data for older guns. Check the proof mark. I have data but I can’t send, the grand kids, well great grand kids do it for me when they call round. Feel old now. Hope this helps.

It looks like you fell fowl of the new layout and pressed the quote button by mistake....done it been there.... the edit button used to be there but is now up at the top right hand corner ....seee three dots ....click on that and edit will come up. Why three dots and not 'edit' I don't know. Cannot help any further than the suggestions above I'm afraid. I have shot bismuth in my 410 for ducks and recently on partridge days and have to say I have not noticed any difference in the killing ability if the bird was in the pattern.

Guest cookoff013 Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Ive switched out lead and replaced it with bismuth shot. I had it tested, as well as the original lead load. If you are going for fibre bismuth, in 3" . I think thats about 1,1/4oz. Good luck. Nb speed is over rated. Big shot is great. And yes. I am talking about nontoxic bismuth.
