Thanks for the post.
Might have to check into this later in the year. I noticed the company is from Pine Island, MN which is less than 20 miles away. I have plenty of non-tox loads already, given that I only shot 3 times last season .. birds were way down in northern Iowa. But who knows, with the mild winter and as dry as its been, they might rebound this year. |

Just spoke with the company and they retail through Bucks Run
Ph: 1-800-274-0403
In stock E-Shot and Heavy Weight is under $200 for 10 pounds
E-Shot density is 11.5 or so
and the Heavy Weight is 12.5 or so
The E-Shot can be loaded with lead shot wads and is specifically indicated for sub-gauge and vintage guns. It is a soft alloy.
The Heavy Weight is to be loaded in steel shot wads and is tougher but heavier and is indicated for waterfowl and turkey.
E-Shot seems perfect for upland conditions

Is this a variation on the tungsten theme? |

I talked to them today and was told it is a blend of tungsten and tin. Also told that you needed to buffer the loads.
Think I may research it a little more.
