The Bismuth I have is the original product.I had an opportunity to buy 35 lbs of it a while back at a very attractive price.I know that there can be be some problems with it being somewhat brittle. The earlier loadings I made were not buffered and while the patterns were acceptable they were not as dense and there was evidence of some flyers that could have been split or damaged pellets.Buffering made a huge difference in density and completely eliminated the flyer issue.Cross referencing some other published recipes I would put the velocity at around 1250 ft./sec.

Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought stupid,than open it and confirm.
