Hevi Bismuth 28 gauge 3" shotgun shells deliver non-toxic performance in a compact load that works in both modern and classic shotguns. Built around HEVI-Shot's proprietary bismuth pellets, these shells give you the density advantage you need for clean, ethical waterfowl hunting without the hardness issues that come with steel. At 1 ounce of #6 shot, you get a payload that hits harder downrange than comparable steel loads, letting you maintain lethality even when dropping down a shot size.
The 28 gauge is ideal for hunters who prefer a lighter-recoiling platform without sacrificing effectiveness. Whether you're working a duck blind early season or finishing birds over decoys, the ballistic density of bismuth means your pattern stays tight and your pellets retain energy farther than steel. Since bismuth is non-toxic, these shells work where lead and steel restrictions apply, giving you more water to hunt and more seasons to shoot them.
This case includes 250 shells (10 boxes of 25), so you can stock up for the season and know you've got reliable, proven ammunition ready to go. HEVI-Bismuth shells are safe in any shotgun that handles 28 gauge 3" shells, making them a versatile choice whether your gun is a vintage side-by-side or a modern autoloader.
