I am looking for a denisty chart that compares the different shots. I saw one once before but I can't remember if it was a website or in a magazine.

Can anyone help me out.

Density of WHAT? :? I don't understand what you are looking for. Are you referring to the number of pellets in an ounce of shot?

Whatever you're looking for, if you can't find it in this one-page PDF file (a quick download) it probably doesn't exist:

Shotgun barrels, Chokes 'n Ballistics

The density of the different shot compounds

Hevi
Bismuth
Tungsten Matrix....etc

Took me awhile to Google it up, but you'll find all the data you're looking for -- and MORE -- in this Guns & Ammo Magazine article:

Here's a qucikie table of shot metal densities from that article:

That's quite an article. To read it one would believe that it is the only shot to use for waterfowl. I have had good results with steel, but I have had a few wild goose chases, running down wounded birds. I like the though of the good penetration, and quick kills. I guess I will have to cough up a few more dollars and give some a try.
Thanks for the link Case!
