Thanks Keith & Lagopus, I suspected that Bismuth would be the only logical shot alternative currently available. As for fighting the good fight...I'm up to my neck in it and so is my wife. We're life members of the NRA and California Rifle & Pistol Assoc. Hence, our location is our major obstacle. There are a lot of good people standing up for our rights in California but we are out numbered by the political left and the uninformed followers. However, fight on we do!
BTW, while doing some research on different types of shot I ran across a new product (for me) available from Ballistic Products called ITX Shot. Is anyone familiar with it? Here is a link:
