Tried this question on the general discussion board and did not get a response.
Has anyone shot Busmuth out of a full choked gun and did it work well?
Should I have my very tight (full) FN Auto 5, 16 opened to Mod???
Cheers, John |

| Sorry, I can't help you. I've never shot bismuth. |

I have shot it out of 16ga mod and 12ga IM and found it to reach as far as I felt comfortable shooting. The Phez and ducks piled up hard. I did shoot two geese with 3 1/2" Biz in BB thru a LF and IM. They didn't even twitch. I have been too lazy to pattern. I find if it works well that is what counts.
Best,
Ron |

Grouser,
If your A5's full choke is as tight as mine was, .043", you might want to open it anyway. Had mine opened to .014".

I shoot bismuth through an A5 choked .020 and a Model 11 choked .016 and both pattern and take birds very well. Shot through a full choke on an NID its too tight.  |
