For those of you who have inquired about Hunter's Bismuth shot , pricing and shipping info.

The shot dripping process works and large scale commercial production is in sight. Unfortunately, the "drip though a nozzle" method is patented, and before production can start in earnest, a license must be procured from the patent owner. Hunter's Bismuth is also preparing to submit a patent application for an alternative manufacturing process as well.

Hunter's Bismuth will provide more information as events occur.

Regards

GKT

Thanks for the info and keep us posted, as I assume for others, we are like Pavlov's dogs waiting on more.

This is encouraging news. With so many public areas now requiring non-lead shot I had come to rely on bismith shot as an all-around load. I'm not sold on the idea of needing non-lead shot unless for hunting in a marsh where ducks can actually get at the stuff to ingest into their crops, but we seem to be stuck with more and more areas where lead is not allowed anyhow. I like the idea of bismuth shot becoming available again.

Looking at their website it's available only if you want to make it...

Other than their patent infringement disclaimer, what would be the issue in ordering several sizes and pattern them as shot. Useful info in your post HomelessjOe.

Why can't we swage pellets out of wire?

You would have to make it, of course. It's metal, force it through a die. Certainly a process could be designed to make shot sized pellets without 'dropping' them. Make wire, cut it, and swage it in a die. Repeat.
