i'm finding myself in a similar situation. I bought my daughter a stevens .410 bore sxs. 1965 manufacture, full choke. someone had pinnacle bismuth shells available last year and I bought the 3 boxes they had. now they're apparently no longer available. rio makes bismuth in 12 and 20 and maybe some others, but not .410. i think when the shells run out, I'll likely have to buy a new gun. nice shot might be an alternative for reloaders, but it's $40/lb!


good luck out there
