"Dude, bizmuth(sic) was designed for older guns that can not handle STEEL shot"

From the 16 ga Reloaders Group

"Okay, I'm going to step in here. I used to use a 1918 Field Grade L.C. Smith 12ga. to shoot trap with. I shot several thousand handload and factory load target shells AA's, STS's, etc. and never had a problem. Then I used the gun for goose with factory loaded 2 3/4 in. bismuth loads. I learned a lesson the hard way. Just because a shell fits the gun does not mean it is safe to use." Take it from Nine Fingered Mark.
This is from the gentleman who posted a picture of the gun with the blown barrel.

Again this is a gun that isn't proofed from Hunter Arms in 1918, proof didn't start until around 20's.

So what you are saying Mike is that it is ok to shoot bizmuth in "old guns not made for steel". You better define "OLD" dude!
