If you've been stepping down shot sizes with steel or just want better performance without the tungsten price tag, HEVI-Bismuth fills that gap nicely. These 16 gauge shells pack a 1 1/8 oz load of number 2 bismuth shot at 1350 fps, giving you the kind of downrange energy you'd expect from a denser material.
Bismuth sits right in the sweet spot between steel and tungsten. At 22 percent denser than steel, it carries more energy downrange while staying soft enough for vintage firearms with fixed chokes. That density means you can actually drop a shot size and still get the same duck-dropping lethality you'd get from a larger steel pellet. The number 2 shot in this load gives you that balance of pattern density and penetration that works across different hunting conditions.
These shells are manufactured to work safely in both modern semi-autos and classic side-by-sides. Since bismuth pellets are softer than steel, they won't beat up older barrels the way steel can. Each shell is loaded with the quality consistency you expect from HEVI-Shot, with pellets alloyed and cast in Sweet Home, Oregon.
You get 25 shells per box, which is the practical configuration for a day in the blind. At 1350 fps, velocity is solid and patterns stay tight when you're threading shots through decoys or setting up on ducks coming in. These non-toxic shells let you hunt with confidence knowing you're using an effective, environmentally responsible load.
Yes, these shells are safe to shoot in both modern and classic shotguns, including vintage models with fixed chokes. Bismuth pellets are softer than steel, which makes them gentler on older barrels and receivers, so you don't have to worry about wear and tear like you would with steel shot.
Bismuth is 22 percent denser than steel, which means it retains more energy downrange and carries better through wind. You can actually drop down to a smaller shot size with bismuth and still get the same performance as a larger steel load, giving you tighter patterns with more consistent results.
Number 2 shot strikes a good balance for most waterfowl situations, offering enough pellet count for pattern density while maintaining energy for clean kills. If you're hunting tight cover or need tighter patterns, you might test these to see how they perform in your gun before moving to other shot sizes.
Yes, HEVI-Bismuth shells use 100 percent non-toxic bismuth pellets, making them suitable for areas where non-toxic shot is required. They deliver the performance you need while being environmentally responsible.
