Won two boxes of the bismuth loads, only shot 6 rounds so far. 2 pheasants, a prairie chicken, and a gadwall weren't happy with them. I've had similar experiences with bismuth from Winchester, Bismuth Cartridge Company, and my own handloads.
I've talked to the reps at a couple of different venues and they are sure big on hype. I think they learned that from the dude at Ballistic Products. Listen to them and you might begin to believe no other shotshell of any type can kill a bird. Any interest I may have had in their products was turned off by the staff. If not for that I would probably buy their products if I found them at a reasonable price.

Yes, even their web sight has more than a little of the same. Thing that bugged me was, they mentioned with with their shells you will not be "harming the environment". Well, just whose side are you on? Eliminate lead and what would that do to all the trap, skeet and sporting clay games.
That and the "Bossman" BS....
I like RST and Federal for Upland hunting, however currently I haven't been able to find any....Most likely have enough of each to get me thru the year.

I used boss shotshells last season, and still have several boxes. If you can get past the hype, they are not bad shells. They are pricey and the only reason I ended up getting them was because of limited availability last year and a looming trip to Kansas for pheasant/quail.
These are the 1st bismuth loads Ive shot, so I can’t speak to performance compared to others. They pattern well, and kill birds! I would say try them out if your inclined.
