Detailed Description

The Bismuth Manual, 7th ed.
The Bismuth Manual details the tools, components, techniques, and load data necessary for achieving the finest ballistic results with bismuth shotshell pellets. Includes a vast array of information and load receipes that unlock the potential of bismuth loads.
Advantages: Bismuth shot is denser than steel shot. Bismuth is also soft, which means that it is ideal for use as a non-toxic shot in fine double-barrel shotguns, smallbore shotguns and any other shotguns with fixed chokes. Care and proper loading techniques must be observed load bismuth shot effectively. BPI's load data for peak bismuth performance.  We've also worked closely with our friends at Hodgdon Powder Company to bring you a greatly expanded selection of loads. The 7th edition of the Bismuth Manual is the single largest collection of bismuth shot load data ever compiled.
The physical differences of bismuth shot require that it be loaded differently than lead or steel shot. In short, if you're not loading bismuth properly, then you won't take advantage of its physical benefits.

Lifesaver for 28g 1/23/2025
Living in California, all hunting must be non-lead, and getting factory 28g non-lead upland ammo here is also no easy task. What does exist is all steel, so bismuth is a godsend if you reload. Unfortunately, there is very little data for 28g bismuth out there. After a fairly exhaustive search, and several failed tries with other popular manuals, I tried the BP Bismuth manual. SO glad I did. There are lots of load options for 28g. The one I tried first loaded up well and performed great. I didnt chrono it yet, but 3 quail on my first 3 shots dont lie. Really cant say enough about this manual; it saved my season.
