    I've still got about 100 of some of the early 1 1/8 ounce loads in #6. I never did use them up, the early stuff was loaded in cheap Winchester and Eley hulls that had bad case failure problems.

    Ed Muderlak wrote an article for Parker Pages several years ago about our experiences shooting them down in Louisiana. I believe he even mailed some of the failed cases back to Bismuth but never got a response which is no surprise.

    If you can find them, they made an 1 1/4 ounce load in 2 3/4 that was double gun acceptable. I fired a lot of those when bismuth was the only game in town and they killed well with very light recoil. But once Kent TM came out I switched to that, it's just like shooting the same load in lead used to be.
