Not sure what size bismuth shot is normally available on those shoots.
In the Top End I use Bi fours for ducks and twos for magpie geese.

I could have taken Bismuth fours to Victoria with the Rigby but all my cartridges are home-loaded with plastic wads.
The laugh is, normal plastic wads are rapidly bio-degradable here in the monsoon tropics through dry-season grass fires, extreme temperatures and high UV ratings!

Again I've never seen any Bismuth shot size but 4s. So youobtained some 2s at some point? Also you were able to buy bismuth shot, not just loaded ammo?

Do they ban the use of plastic wads as well? Is that what your comment indicates? Local property or State ban?

You're very right about the degrading of plastic wads in the Top End. On my properties I can't say I ever find plastic wads lying in the ground. Except immediately after shooting.unless one is shooting a lot of shells all in one place, such as at a clay shooting ground, I couldn't see it as an issue.
