Hevi-Shot Bismuth 28 gauge shotshell ammunition offers hunters and clay shooters a non-toxic alternative that doesn't sacrifice performance. Built with bismuth shot instead of lead, these 2-3/4" shells deliver the pattern density and velocity serious shooters expect—without the environmental or legal restrictions that come with traditional lead loads. The 1 oz payload in size 6 shot makes this round effective for upland game, waterfowl, and target shooting where non-toxic compliance matters.
Bismuth shot is denser than steel and patterns tighter than comparable lead loads, which means you get better range and more consistent hits. For 28 gauge shooters who refuse to compromise on capability, Hevi-Shot Bismuth bridges the gap between regulatory compliance and real-world performance. It's the round for hunters who need to shoot non-toxic but won't accept second-rate ballistics.
Each box contains 25 rounds, making it easy to stock up for a day in the field or a session at the range. Hevi-Shot's reputation for consistency applies here—every shell is loaded to the same exacting standard, so you can focus on your shooting rather than worrying about variation between rounds.
