Bismuth vs Hevi-Shot

[Bustin' Ducks]

Which do you like better......

[GulfCoast]

Hevi-Shot is vastly superior in every aspect except price. You can't fight physics. The stuff is significantly harder than your barrel's steel. So, I would not shoot reloads unless I did them myself with a mylar wrap.

That Hevi stuff is bad news!

i came across a guy that sold us hevi-shot at $14.00 for a box of 10. I figured what the heck thats a really fair price so I picked up the remaining 8 boxes he had... let me tell u guys something .. that stuff is the real McCoy... usually they sell that stuff for around $20.00 a box but i promise u that with 10 of those shells you'll kill just as many ducks as you would with say 20-25 regular steel loads. and by the way those weary ducks that work just outside the decoy spread. you can spank that booty with those loads. 70 yards shots are possible. i saw iron grip make some shots with that stuff where i was saying no way but he proved me wrong..
in my 20 years of hunting ducks. i've never seen anything like that hevi shot.

I've never shot Bismuth but have seen what Hevi-shot can do. It's bad news. Allmost to bad for up close birds.

Gulfcoast...I've read some articles 'bout that Hevi-Shot...One said that if it's not TOTALLY covered in the shotcup and/or have a Mylar wrap it could casue pitting and damage the guns barrell...I take it the factories use the mylar wrap...I haven't bought any wraps for reloading...Not certain how they seat in the hull..or in the wad...

Thinking about relaoding Bismuth vice the Hevi-Shot...from what I've read the reloading components are similar to those of lead reloading...

I bought 2 boxes of Hevi Shot @ $17.00 a box ($1.70 per shell) for 2 3/4 #4s. It misses them ducks just as good as my old lead #4s.

Heavy Shot has got my vote. I shot a box or two of them and talking about stompin em! Don't worry about feathuring birds and them not comeing down or flying halfway across the field!

[iron grip]

I don't blame the hevi shot when the bird fails to fall. I try and think about what I did wrong on my shot. If you don't work on your shooting buy some thing at $4 a box it evens out anyway.

[teul2]

Oh I know. I just rip on my self because I have a tendancy to "snap shoot" and not take the time to line up the shot correctly. When I take that extra second I make great shots. Like Saturday, two mallards in one shot.

[RIP EM]

I wish all my shots were snap-shots !

I tend to hit better when I get "supprised by em" !

Sorry guys, not tryin to jack ya thread !

Rip Em !

[DUCKAHOLIC]

O/U TELLS THE TRUTH. i USED HEVI SHOT ON OUR LAST HUNT OF THE SEASON AND THE BIRDS THAT WERE IN OUR FACE WERE MANGLED. HEVI SHOT IS THE SH*T.

[engell]

I used some 3 1/2 BB hevishot for some snow geese. It really reached out and touched them!

[RedLeg84]

That hevi-shot is the best stuff around but the question is, where do you find that stuff for a decent price? Should I order it online or what? Anybody got any suggestions? I am gonna order probably 2 or 3 cases since I can afford it right now!!

[RiverDuck]

Granted, it is expensive, but I look at it like this--you go out and buy all the calls, $100 spinners that dont work, mallard machines and all that other crap, then why wouldnt you spend some extra money so when you get your shots, you make 'em that much better. You get up at the butt crack of dawn, sometimes walk your booty off to get to a spot, throw out all your decoys. Not shooting the best thing YOU (within your price range) could would be in my opinion, stupid! If the pellets dont fly, the steaks dont fy
