Steel Shells at Rodgers OUtdoors

[SJ Fairbank]

Tod I got bismuth reloading supplies a year or two and am playing with that. I did also pick up some of the Winchester bismuth to see how it works. I can't justify paying for tungsten on a state salary, and my aim isn't THAT good. But I don't want to go back to steel if I don't have to (with the exception of September goose). We'll see. If the tariff game keeps driving prices up I'll have a problem to solve in 2 years.

Bismuth shot sure went through the roof! I bought a 7 lb bag two seasons ago for under $100, same bag now $180+. I only reload the rail shells so it doesn't hurt me too much.

I have three cases of Boss 12 gauge so I'm good for ducks for a couple of years. I'm sad to see them cease Bismuth shell production. I have a half case of steel for guests who "forget" their own shells.

Agreed. I loved their products. I assume they're moving to tungsten, but not sure. The stingers were nice. I loved the lower power loads. And same on the price of bismuth. When for it in 2023 it was cheap!
