Hewey Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Hi All, Just wondered if any of you used Non-Toxic's for a 20 Bore. I have always used Tungsten-Matrix in both my 12 and 20 but do find the price of them a little steep these days, especially when I am on shoots when you may get a mixture of Game, Duck and Pigeon over your head. £2+ for a couple of shots at pigeons seems a bit of a waste really and you never get time to swap cartridges. Oh and I have 3" Chambers if that makes any difference. Cheers Hewey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other option is to to buy Bismuth in 12 and 20g. Costs still high though- about 20 quid for 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewey Posted November 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Hi SL, Yes I have actually bought a box of Eley Bismouth 4's as I'm out this weekend and running out of the Tungsten. Think they were about £16 for 25 so not quite as bad as Tungsten and will see how I find those. Just thought I'd ask to see peoples views.

MC Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 The only problem with bismuth is it is ****. Use HV steel or hevi shot. They are the only ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewey Posted November 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Hi Martin, Thanks for the reply, how much do they normally run to are these just made by one manufacturer, if not which do you recommend. Rgds Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 I use Express HV Steel in my 20-bore. I use them for duck flighting only though (size 5 shot), and they do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
