Wow, I have like 5 boxes of 10 squirreled away from back when lead for waterfowl was outlawed. It sounds like it might be time to sell them for about a 1000% profit!


Eh...wot?

Shop around. I see bismuth ammo anywhere from $30 and up for a box of 25.

Apparently Hornady in Grand Island NE is hit hard by covid and they are running on a skeleton crew. It's a manufacturer's market!

I shoot this stuff in 16 gauge for duck. Works great and a good price.

This is a good try as well...only 20 to a box but has great knockdown power and price is reasonable...they carry a turkey load as well.
