Default Anyone shoot bismuth for duck hunting?

How many of you have used bismuth shot for waterfowl hunting?

I ask because I had to buy some bismuth shotshells for duck hunting last year since I had sold my 835 and only had access to older shotguns that couldn't take steel shot. Despite not having many opportunities to use them, it seemed like they killed a little more reliably and quickly than when I used steel. When I drew a proper bead on the ducks, they fell with hardly a twitch. Since I've still got a lot of bismuth shot left over from last year, I'm going to keep using it this year.
