Heading out to SD in early Nov for some public land pheasant hunting where the need for non-toxic shot is the norm. Use mostly steel last year and borrowed a few rounds of Hevi-X from a hunting partners. Both killed birds, but I wasn't really impressed. Birds that folded in the air, and hit the ground supposedly dead, often ended up being runners.
Been thinking about BOSS copper-plated bismuth this year. Lots of hype, but moreover, they are a available to ship. FWIW, I'll be taking a 16ga Lightning, 20/28ga Beretta 686 combo, so I'm looking into non-toxic shells for each.
Any real world experience with the BOSS shells?
