8. When I have hunted waterfowl, I use Kent Polyshot, or

(formerly) Bismuth -- highly frangible bismuth, coated in tin plate to keep the bismuth from shattering everwhere, even as it scrunches down similarly to lead. Works well, but expen$ive. There is a move to toward conventional iron, as opposed to Heavyshot iron which is also expensive.

Winchester now has cubed-shaped shot, like highly camfered dice to aid in shot cohesion (less clumping & fewer fliers) once in flight.

Just gassing, but the future may be larger and more massive iron shot with cups which are better able to keep the unforgiving metals from damaging my old Stevens db and 53 yr old Wingmaster. And do so at a reasonable cost.
