Bismuth shot questions

[TNGhost]

what is your typical/heavy load for a bismuth goose load in the CVA?

100 gr. 2f, 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 oz. #1 Bismuth + Super Grex buffer.

Usually, I use a Thompson Center 12 Guage shot cup/wad and overshot card (stocked up on a bunch on clearance a while back). Also have used an over powder card + red (heavy load) Winchester cup wad + over cup and also over powder card + 1/2" felt cushion wad + overshot card.

Also have used Heavy Shot, ITX etc. with the Thompson cup and Super Grex buffer.

Thank you!!

I would start south of those 100 grains, maybe 85 or 90 and work my way up from there seeing which, the 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 loads, and which wad column, pattern best for you.

All of my goose hunting with a muzzleloader has been over decoys in farm fields, so up close, and I pick my shots carefully.
