Since I need to use non-toxic for the woodcock, does anyone have a good bismuth load (around 2 1/2 dram 7/8 oz maybe) gentle enough for my old girl? Or a better suggestion? Thanks guys........

I use the Eco-tox Bismuth shells, but I don't know the pressures. They bio-degrade right in the chambers if they get wet. I used some on a rail hunt in VA, and the salt disintegrated them in my pocket. Definately enviro-friendly. Out there doing it best I can.

MO also has 22 state game areas that require non tox for dove hunting now too. Main priority is low pressure, don't want to damage my gun. Thanks for reply.... Dave
