man o kent 269 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Just wondered how many of you folks felt confident with bismuth cartridges, and used them regularly? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bodach 25 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 At £25 a box don't think you will find many users! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
man o kent 269 Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Depends what gun you have, and how many shots you fire whilst out there I would imagine! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raymond1 262 Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 the new bismuth has supposedly been up-graded so as not to turn to dust before it leaves the muzzle , I have not tried it yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 3,048 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Tired bismuth once, like shooting them will bits of toilet paper, will not use it again 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
charlie caller 3,654 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Cant comment on the new stuff, but the old stuff was dreadful, I remember pricking a mallard on the Ouse washes, it came down about 35 yards away in the water so a quick follow up shot was used to kill it, after firing at it 3 times with bismouth, it was still swimming around, I found a heavy shot no 4 in my bag, the duck was now 50 yards away, bang, stone dead and I waded out to get it, I will never use that crap again. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
man o kent 269 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I have heard better things recently, at sensible range. Cost me 21 quid for a box in 16 gauge, so bit cheaper than I thought. We will see how they perform! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
charlie caller 3,654 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I would be grateful if you would let me know how you get on with them please, as my eldest lad uses my 16 bore and I would like to take him on the duck this year, and I was worrying about what to use,I just hope they are nothing like the old stuff, I honestly have never used anything as bad.
