Bismuth Shot #2, ( ~.15", 3.76 mm) Alloy For Reloading Shells 10#-Made in USA

So far so good. Haven't shot any birds yet but I'm impressed so far!

I liked the #4 bismuth so much for duck hunting last year that I had to buy some #2 to try on geese this fall!

Outstanding! The #2 bismuth performed better than I expected. 11/2 oz. is +or- 134. 119 in a 30 inch circle at 40 yards. That is 88%. Done with my 1894 Rem. 10 gauge. 32 inch Damascus barrels modified/modified. 2 7/8 cut 3 1/2 inch Remington hulls. 1200 fps. Roll crimp.

I am pleased that Rotometals sells this product at a better price that other suppliers I have found. I chose #2 shot for reloading ammunition for an old Parker 2 7/8" chambered 10 ga with damascus barrels, choked mod & mod. The load consists of 1 1/4 oz of buffered bismuth shot with a pressure of 7,800 psi and a velocity of about 1250 fps, which is plenty fast enough. Results on large Canada geese have been impressive, even beyond 50 yards. I will be using #2 for geese in this gun for years to come.

The #2 Bismuth Shot from Rotometals is my go-to shot for Canadian Geese in my vintage side by side shotguns. My Father was taught to use #2s & #4s lead shot for Waterfowl. I now use #2s and #4s from Rotometals and get fantastic patterning and have had great success over the past few seasons. I give the highest ratings to both #2 Bismuth shot and the #4 shot. Reloading Bismuth Shot from Rotometals allows me to continue to hunt waterfowl with treasured shotguns passed down 3 generations.

Have you ever considered a copper plated version of your bismuth shot?

its pretty clean, some shot has holes and tails. Over all quality is that of which you would find in commercial shells. I cut open a hevi-bismuth and it was identical quality. Overall looks pretty useful.
