Thanks for the input guys, I'll have some ideas on what to go take a look at at a show or two. As to $500 bucks saving, that really wont go too far with bismuth right now-I cannot find any, anywhere-stores, websites, etc. etc.. Tungesten matrix is running close to $3.60 a shell, as is nice shot, and the classic double hevi shot. I can buy premium steel shot for about $0.71 a shot, 20% the price of the other stuff!
Lets say I shoot 277 shells in a waterfowl season, here is the math!
So for $1000 I can have a $500 gun, and 704 steel shells
or 278 shells of tungesten matrix. After shooting 278 times, I'll have only empty hulls with TM-but with the steel route I'll have another gun and 426 leftover shells.. Hmmm....
