The shells cost $40 per 25 packet.

I also have a bag of no.4 shot from last year which I still haven't loaded . I've got lazy and haven't used my press in years as 500 round boxes of 12 gauge aren't too badly priced. But NOT bismuth.

I thought reloading of bismuth is basically the same as leadshot ???? Please correct me if that is wrong ??? ******

For the record did OK with the bismuth shells. Didn't have to shoot too many extra rounds per duck. Except two ducks which dropped to two shell and then took another six to finish off.
