| Anyone know where I might be able to find some Kent Fast Lead or Bismuth in 16 ga.? I know ammo is scarce right now but was hoping someone might have a lead on some. |

| I have been able to find some Bismuth online but I'm not paying $50-75 per box. |

The BP site lists both of these, and doesn't show "Not available" for what its worth.

I've been on their site. If you click on the actual item it says they are both out of stock. |

| Never used any of that nontoxic stuff. Lead always been my favorite for clean kill. |

I use lead where I can but here in South Dakota if you do any hunting on State Game Production Areas or Federal Waterfowl Production Areas you have to use non-tox. |

| now you raise an excellent question! I now realize they are boxes of 10 shells per box...I now will be keeping them all, as I can fully use them...$2.25/shell...thought I was real slick getting 25 shells for $22.50...not so smart now, am I? But I did buy some bismuth for $4 per shell about 2 years ago...only 10 shells...so these look pretty cheap. Oh, I'm in Duluth, Mn...gonna have to buy cheap bourbon for 3 months to offset my expensive shells!!!! |

| I'll think of my $3 cups of coffee when I squeeze off my $2.25 shots...the coffee lasts longer, but the memory of the shot lasts even longer...hope the bird drops!! I only buy $3 coffees about twice a month...hope I shoot these shells more than that! |
