Was asked to go goose hunting and i really only have older 2 3/4" shotguns. like 1914 remington model 11 with full choke.

what are the alternatives? i reload shotgun shells so i guess if thats cheaper.. only thing i find is like 160+ dollars of shot for around 70 loads. that is insanely expensive. i could reload a 50 bmg for less than the cost of a shotgun shell loaded with bismuth
 
Heavy shot classic doubles may be your best bet. Expensive though.

Bismuth shot used to be available, I'm not sure it's is sold commercially anymore though. That would be fine through a full choke.

Eta: Cabelas sells Rio bismuth loads.

Eta2: ballistic products sells ITX shot and they have a 1lb sampler you can order instead of ordering a 7 lb bag of shot. Safe for older guns, similar density as bismuth. http://www.ballisticproducts.com/ITX-Original-10-Shot-1-lb-Trial-Size/productinfo/TXS/
