In particular, I was focusing on B&P. I have an email into them asking about how they achieve such hardness in shot. I have read such good reports on B&P for the use in 20 ga. guns. Also have a couple of acquaintance who use it. These would be 15/16 loads I would use for hunting.
The shot seems to be very hard and highly polished. One friend says it patterns and shoots as well as the Nickel plated shot they sell.
They have a deal going right now, $81 for a 10 box case and they pay the shipping. I just ordered two cases for myself and a friend. It is $85 if one wants to buy nickel plated stuff, in the 20 ga. anyhow.
