simcgunner Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 I ordered a supply of bismuth copper plated cartridges to waterfowl this year. they will be used in two duck Guns designed for 3 inch ammo. tested at 30 and 40 yards they patterned like lead an completely imbedded in the plywood back. 3 inch 1.5 oz of #2 shot at 1350fps. seems like good quality load. Felt recoil is moderate not light or heavy. only drawback is the wads are not biodegradable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Mirrors my tests with the 410 and bismuth #6s at a measured 35yrds. Buried into the ply the depth of the shot. This was plain bismuth, not copper coated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simcgunner Posted July 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 These bismuth work. I got a Swan tag a couple of years ago and shot this one with my old 10 bore one shot at +40 yards dead in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 Yep, put it in the pattern and you will not notice the difference...... only in price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
