    You would think so but if you get into it as well then it wont go too far. Use 24 gram loads of nine's or eight's on skeet some green dot and your away.

    IIRC red dot was faster but the green dot was a mild push and got consistant patterns. Tightwad? or winchester were the 24 gram wads and gave the best crimps. W209 primers and I think, so research this, was around 24-25 grains powder. It was the standard olympic load for isu skeet IIRC again.
    She will appreciate and dare I say shoot better with a 24 gram load. I shoot them in white gold 7 1/2 for skeet.

    I would be interested too.
    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out

    I looked around for bismuth a couple of years ago and couldn't find any. I'm interested as well.
