Anyone good or bad experience with their shells?

I've shot steel a lot for waterfowl , tungsten ( expensive) and looking at bismuth as alternative

Not a big fan of steel and many of my upland spots are banning lead

For waterfowl and upland. Shooting auto and an older sxs

In my old SxS I use the Tungsten Matrix as it's easy on old barrels. No complaints with their bismuth loads either

Nope!

Need to wait for a dealer here to stock it. I'd really like it for my 16 gauge.

Just bought 100rds of 16 #5 for Teal season and 100rds of 12 #4 for big ducks. I'll check back when I pattern it.

In general I have found Kent to be excellent shotshells.

I have used bismuth shotshells and have always found the results on gamebirds to be excellent. I can't tell any difference between similar bismuth and lead loads.
