My best experience with bismuth for seeing that it does have some killing power was shooting it at live pigeons a couple winters ago. I was invited to a club who's pigeon ring faces a large river so they use non-toxic shells to keep some of the whining down from the bunny huggers. Feral pigeons are tough, essentially wild birds, and it killed them just dandy shooting out of my Parker. I'd never had huge confidence in it either until that day but like King I still much prefer TM.
