Description

Kent Bismuth Upland shells are your go-to choice when you need non-toxic ammunition without compromising on what makes shooting satisfying. Built with 9.6g/cc bismuth shot, these shells deliver the kind of dense patterns you'd get from lead while being gentle on your barrel.

Why Kent Bismuth Works for Upland Hunting

The 6-shot size is ideal for pheasant, grouse, and other upland birds. At 1325 fps, this load carries enough energy downrange to get the job done while keeping recoil manageable through a full day in the field. Bismuth is 24 percent denser than steel, so you're getting better penetration and energy retention than you would from cheaper non-toxic options. That density also means the pellets hold their pattern better, which translates to cleaner, more reliable shots.

Built for Modern and Vintage Shotguns

One of the biggest advantages of bismuth is it won't damage your gun. It's as soft as lead, making it safe for vintage shotguns with fixed chokes and fine barrels. The same goes for modern semi-automatics and pump guns, where the high-performance base wad ensures reliable cycling every time. The custom blended powders burn clean in all conditions, so you won't be fighting fouling even on longer days or in wet weather.

What You Get

Each box contains 25 rounds of 2.75-inch shells loaded with 1-1/16 ounces of number 6 bismuth shot. The case includes 10 boxes, making this the smart way to stock up for the season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Kent Bismuth shells safe to use in older shotguns?

Yes. Bismuth is as soft as lead, so it won't harm vintage barrels or fixed-choke guns that you might be hesitant to shoot steel through. It's also safe in modern shotguns and any choke configuration.

How do bismuth shells compare to steel for upland hunting?

Bismuth is 24% denser than steel, which means better energy retention and tighter patterns downrange. You get lead-like performance without the toxicity concerns. The trade-off is that bismuth costs more than steel, but the improved pattern density and knockdown power make it worth it for hunting.

What game birds are these shells good for?

The 6-shot size works great for pheasant, grouse, and other upland birds where you want a balanced load. The number 6 shot gives you plenty of pellets for consistent patterns without overshooting smaller birds or wasting energy.

Will the B12U306 load reliably cycle in semi-automatic shotguns?

Yes. Kent designed the high-performance base wad specifically to optimize functioning in semi-automatic firearms. You'll get smooth, reliable cycling without short-stroking issues.

Can I shoot Kent Bismuth shells in all weather?

The custom blended powders are formulated for clean-burning, all-weather performance. Whether you're out early on a cold, damp morning or hunting late into the day, these shells will perform consistently.
