I have jumped into learning upland bird hunting this season - specifically pheasant and quail for now. I've managed to find some boxes of lead shot for now, but there are some places here that require non toxic. My father "loaned" me his early 80s era Browning BPS with a fixed choke and I'm unclear on what type of shells to look for. It's my understanding that steel is a no no. Bismuth is an option, are there others that this older gun can handle? Do I want to choose a different shot size than I would with lead? I currently have boxes of #8 and #5 and a turkey load in lead.
I've been looking all season and I cannot find anything local, so I will probably have to order online. Not that it matters much with the season ending soon, but I'd like to get my hands on something eventually.
