Has anyone dissected one of the Hevi-Shot cartridges? I did this afternoon to load some 10 bores. There are different shot sizes, fine polymer as well as polymer twice the size of the stated shot size. Ideas anyone?
I have a few answers regarding the polymer/plastic/stuff mixed in with the asymmetrical/non-spherical dogbone connected shot: the plastic is supposed to act as a buffer; the non-spherical dogbone mixed diameter shot purportedly yields better patterns; and if shot thru a vintage double will probably result in the "bulge-ring" as seen on some Browning A-5s. Kind Regards, Raimey rse

Bismuth is readily available for $18-20 / lb. Maybe $1.25 an ounce delivered. So, if someone already had a Littleton shotmaker and some experience with it, it might be very feasible to have Bi shot for $1.50 per shell.

Mike:
That wouldn't be that much more than Kent's TungstenMatrix, which do they manufacture anymore? What & where is the Bismuth source?
Kind Regards,
