The trend for me has continued with 9 solidly dead roosters with #5 Boss in both 16 gauge and 20 gauge. I shot one twice as I was a bit off center and he was coming down with his head up but that's on me. I am very pleased with the performance and appreciate it allows me to carry some classic guns with non-tox and no worries. I have recovered a few pellets with no signs of fracturing; I know that was a concern with bismuth in the past.
