I don't think there is any export/import restrictions on No-tox shot, so if there is a problem locating a supplier, I can see a ferry trip in my wife and my future.  |

According to the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (2013)
Annotated for Statistical Reporting Purposes
Heading/Sub Heading: 9306.21.00 , 9306.29.00 and 9306.30 Stat Suffix 00.
It appears to be duty free. |

"what is the density /cc of NS 10,11,?"
Nice Shot weighs approximately the same as magnum lead shot. ( As compared to Lawrence Brand Shot )
The label in the picture is some of the leftovers from when the shot was manufactured for me. |

| #6 Nice shot is all that's needed for ducks at any range. To save cost I don't load it in anything but the 28 gauge. If I were to load it or buy it loaded in 16 I would want 1 1/16th-1 1/8th oz at around 1300-1350 fps. |

| the most impressive shot I have ever used in 40 years of bird hunting is Federal's 15G/cc . At what they want for the NS I would expect to get at least 11G/cc |

| But, what you don't get with the others that you do with Nice shot is not having to use special components and specific load data. You can use regular shot wads and lead data. |

I was loading 1oz (1 1/16 also) in the 16. Went to 1oz just to save a little.
My loads were 1350fps. #5 and #6. Will kill any duck, pheasant, grouse that you desire to shoot quite well. Ducks hit water dead, pheasants too (providing you do your part of course) LOVE the nice shot |
