Description

HEVI-Bismuth gives you a real step up from steel shot without breaking the bank on premium tungsten loads. The bismuth pellets are 22% denser than steel, which means they carry more energy downrange and you can actually drop a shot size for the same lethality. That's a win on multiple fronts: tighter patterns, more pellets in the air, and cleaner kills on ducks and geese.

HEVI-Bismuth's Sweet Spot for Hunting

The #6 shot size hits that sweet spot for waterfowl work. Because bismuth is so much denser than steel, this HEVI-Bismuth load delivers pattern density and penetration that rivals what you'd need from larger steel shot. You're getting roughly 281 pellets per shell at 1450 fps, all traveling at a consistent velocity that works well in a standard modified choke. That means better odds of multiple hits on birds at realistic hunting distances.

Safe for Every Shotgun You Own

Unlike steel shot, bismuth pellets are soft enough to use in vintage shotguns with fixed chokes and thin barrels without worrying about damage. This is huge if you've got an old side-by-side or a classic pump that's been in your family for decades. Modern shotguns handle them flawlessly too. HEVI-Shot alloys and casts these pellets in Oregon with a formula that holds together under firing pressures, so you get clean, round pellets that pattern reliably every time.

Field-Ready Performance

A 1-1/4 ounce payload loaded to 1450 fps gives you everything you need for waterfowl from decoys or when jumping birds. The brass cases feed smoothly, the velocity is plenty flat, and the non-toxic bismuth material meets all hunting requirements. Each box contains 25 shells, so you've got enough for a solid hunt or range session to pattern your gun before the season starts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I shoot HEVI-Bismuth shells in my old shotgun?

Yes. The soft, brittle nature of bismuth pellets makes them perfectly safe for vintage shotguns with fixed chokes and thin barrels that can't handle steel shot. Steel shot is hard enough to damage older gun barrels, but bismuth won't cause that problem. You can take your grandfather's side-by-side or that classic pump gun back into the field with confidence.

How does HEVI-Bismuth compare to steel shot?

HEVI-Bismuth pellets are 22% denser than steel, meaning they carry more energy downrange and lose velocity more slowly. Because of that extra density, you can drop down a shot size and still get the same killing power. A #6 bismuth load performs similarly to #5 steel, giving you tighter patterns and more consistent results at distance.

What does the 1450 fps velocity mean for hunting?

The 1450 fps muzzle velocity is fast enough to deliver a flat trajectory and quick target acquisition at normal waterfowl hunting distances. It's a proven velocity that works reliably across different shotgun types, whether you're shooting from a blind over decoys or jump hunting on the water.

How many pellets are in each HEVI-Bismuth shell?

Each #6 shot shell in a 1-1/4 oz load contains approximately 281 pellets. That higher pellet count, combined with bismuth's superior density, creates a dense pattern that puts more projectiles on target and improves your odds of clean, ethical kills.
