![]() But, since we have to live with steel I just satisfy myself with it, and with keeping my shots inside it's range of capability.

Would I like to pull down a few "tall ones" with my 32" SuperFox and some of these? Heck yeah. In slang if someone takes a good picture of something it is referred to as a nice shot. It was really good, and continues to be, IMO. But, when I went to Arkansas the first time I didn't want to subject my hosts to any embarrassment if I was charged by a warden, so I bought steel. ![]() I won't argue for criminality, I'm just being honest. I was hearing so many reports on crippling ducks with the early steel that I decided I was taking the moral high road even if I was a lawbreaker. I intentionally shot ducks with illegal lead loads until I started hunting in Arkansas about 1996. I can't really compare them to today's steel loads, as I didn't start using steel when the ban on lead for ducks happened. I have heard, and read, that the early steel loads were pretty poor in performance. Last point- I have no idea why RST keeps it on the site - it seems to me to be a poor choice since it annoys folks with false hope the product might somehow become available - which i don't see happening soon- the last proper duck sized bulk Nice Shot I got from the maker was #4's about two years ago, only a few pounds and jealously hoarded for my short tens If you do not reload - i do not see an option outside of RST's bismuth loads- and if i didn't reload I would stock up just in case they cease to be offered If you reload - bismuth is available and data is out there (I reload all my short ten non tox) ![]() ![]() Kent's products are great performers if you have a gun to handle them. We are, sadly, not a big enough market for sales - think about it- take the number of vintage gun shooters and then subdivide that into the number of us that actually still use these old fowlers for ducks. Kent I believe makes their own (as they do their improved Bismuth) and is not offering it to competitors The issue, as i see it, is that no one is making a similar tungsten shot available in quantities that will allow a small scale commercial loader such as RST to offer a load. Nice Shot was/is a specific product - made by a company in PA- it is a tungsten alloy and in fact in load recipes I have had actually tested - all other things equal, it seems to be very comparable to Kent's TM shot (which is also not available outside of Kent) ![]()
