I have read through a few pages here and it does not look like that I can get for a normal price Bi shot or looks it like that there is anything on a shelf at a dealer.
My question is does Eley still make it or only sell what is in stock. Do they sell components or only cartridges? The members here from England shoutld know it. When they know a shop for shotshell components in London that would be very fine.
I get here only Eley Grand Prix 16/67,5 using a 26,5g load. That is a soft load but I also want to try some heavier loads 30 to 32g. I think to break clays this load will do the job but for hunting that load is probably a bit weak.
In direction Italy or East Europe I have not to ask they will shoot the next 100years lead. For 28ga I also need some bi but for that Cal. I have no chance to get it here.
Does any one know a source were I can get such shot or loads in CA or NV. Last time when I was in Reno I could buy bi loads but only in 12ga. Best would be shot only then I can load it into all ga. I want |

Hello Stolz :
You can get on the net and do a search for Bismuth and find the metal for sale on a site such as the one above , get a littleton shot maker and run your own .
Best I can do in helping you out with Bismuth , but we are working on the NON TOX ISSUE .
Regards Charles |

That shot maker would solve my need for shot.
How much have the shot to drop? I have no shot tower at home! |

If I recall correctly, there is an article in the 16 ga LPG data that shows how to make bismuth shot. |
