Anyone loaded or used this new non-tox shot?

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.
