RST used to. Not sure who does now.
Edit to add: Cabelas is presently advertising 20 & 12 gauge Kent bismuth shells at $470 a flat. Not sure about the "low-pressure" options.

A few years ago, Boss would load lower pressure, fiber-wad shells with bismuth, if you asked. I don't remember how much lower, and I don't know if they still do it. But they were good shells for me.

I bought lower pressure bismuth shells from BOSS pre-Covid but have no idea if they are still available. They were never shown on their website. You had to call and ask if available. A lady there told me the loads were 8500 psi.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Looked up the Salt Creek option.
Spendy, but whatever you want.

My best friend and hunting partner in my entire life died a couple months ago.
I was given his shotgun shells that he always kept in the top of his dog box.
We made dozens of trips west of the Mississippi to shoot pheasant and quail.
He being an engineer, always unloaded his gun and put the cartridges back in the box when the hunt was finished.
Opening that dog box lid was like a time capsule and demonstrated how few cartridges we actually use walking up pheasants.
I would recommend it to anybody here, to find a load you like Buy a case, and then leave the 9 1/2 boxes that will still be there when you die to a good friend.
Don’t let being cheap spoil wonderful opportunities with friends.
Out there doing it best I can.
