Been waterfowling for 30 years… started with steel 3”, then shot steel 3.5” for 20 years and now am back to 3” steel. Since getting transferred to CA I have been shooting piles of snows and specks instead of the ducks and honkers that I have always hunted. This season the 3” Kent and Fiocchi #2s or #1s have performed well but regularly edge me on effective range on snows. Don’t necessarily want to jump to BB as I like the pattern density of 2s and 1s.

Was thinking of giving bismuth a try. Anyone have anything to say about the Hevi-Bismuth, Kent Bismuth or similar? Have heard it works well but obviously a bit more costly. Looking to pick up a case or two post season if it’s worth the jump.
