I used it in a multi shot size for my 10 Gauge (6 shot and 2 shot) The stuff worked good, bust them mallards a$$e$ from a long way out, or, snow geese a long way up. For the the price though, I dont know. If the shooting is heavy, stick with steel, If your only going to have a few chances i'd go for it. 8) Happy Hunting 8)

The Kent Tungsten Impact shells are awsome!! Not quite as good as bismuth though. In my opinion it is all too expensive to shoot on a regular basis. Just a thought!

Law duck, a pawn shop in Houston had them. He only had about 7 or 8 boxes left. He had them marked for 15.99 but said that he had them since last year and just wanted to get them off the shelf. he had #2 and BB's, 2 3/4". The name of the place is Mountain Jacks.

I shot these same shells from the same store last year and was not impressed at all. I am now shooting Hevi shot and it is as good or better than lead. Mountain Jack is ordering this for me, it is awesome. I sometimes mix a steel for the first shot and a Hevi for my second barrel. Usually start out with all Hevi, all you need is #5 or #6.

I've been shooting them for two years now and am on my second case. I shoot the 2 3/4" Kent TM 5's and couldn't be happier. I started out with bismuth a few years ago but didn't like them very well. I order Kent from http://www.Firearmservice.com, you can't beat those guys for price and service... All we need are some new ducks.... :D
