Have any of you ever used bismuth shot for turkey hunting? How well did it shoot, pattern, and kill? Bob Dale

Nope Bob can' t say that I have!I' ve shot the same reload for about the last 15 years out of my 10gauge and its all lead #4' s!Came up with the recipe myself and know to a tee what its capable of out of my Ithica!Cant improve anything when there laying in the grass so consequently as I see new loads coming out every year I ask myself why bother trying to fix something that aint broke?

I DON' T KNOW WHAT HEVISHOT HAS IN IT BUT IT IS FAR BETTER IN MY GUN.LIKE BOBGOBBLL2 STATED,I HAVE KILLED DOZENS OF TURKEYS WITH WIN. AND FED. LEAD BUT YOU HAVE TO SHOOT THE HEVISHOT TO BELIEVE IT.I HAVE KILLED MANY TURKEYS OVER 40 YDS.WITH TOTAL CONFIDENCE WITH LEAD SHOT BUT YOU SHOULD TREAT YOURSELF TO A BETTER LOAD.
