Bismuth and Tungston ??
« on: January 26, 2003, 07:23:17 AM »
Hi,
I've got a question for all you waterfowlers.  I'm not familiar with various the new non-toxic shot.  In the days when there was only steel if a conservation warden did a field check for lead he would use a magnet to check if your shot was steel or lead.  Now with advent of the new non-toxics how can they check?  I'm curious because I hunt with a muzzle loader and carry my loads in shotgun speedloaders.  How can a warden check to see if I have lead or one of the new ones?

There is a product on the market called the "hotshot" (I think) that can determine the type of shot inside a shotshell without opening it.  I think it has something to do with the densities of the materials involved.
