Steel ? Or Bismuth ?
The Bismuth are (at least were) about $3.00 per round. Its why I traded off a Webeley and Son's British Best box lock for a Merkel. The Webley wouldn't take steel, and the Merkel would. I got a bunch of ammo and a gortex fleece coat out of the deal, as well as few doodads. But if you shoot like I do at ducks and geese, $75 a box becomes too rich for your blood PDQ, no matter how sweet the gun is. I loved the thing, but I couldn't afford to feed it, and what good is a bird gun if you can't (litterally) afford to miss? Lead or steel? About $0.50-$0.75 per round. Bismuth? $3.00. If it comes to shooting bismuth at BGs, I'll have the money to pay them to leave quietly.

I'm talking plain old plebian steel here. High V, low weight, little deformation, and lower down range footpounds. Thoughts?
