Bismuth Alloy and California Ducks

[THBailey]

Got my Bismuth/tin alloy #4 shot and managed to get a couple of ducks. Greenhead and a Drake Sprig. Killed them both in the air, about 40 yards or so. Seems to work OK. This shot looks a whole bunch better than bismuth I have tried in the past. (FYI: https://www.rotometals.com/bismuth-shot/ )

Well there ya go.
Shotgunning with shot was considered a whole specific discipline in Germany as early as the 1600's. I've seen woodblocks and the shotgunner with birds has a very different label from the "Jaeger" with rabbits and deer.
Lots of different variables, plus now the modern restrictions on the pellet metal. You have figured it out!

Waterfowl and black powder, is there a better combination?! Wish there were more guys that do it. Congratulations
