HEVI-Shot HS14001 HEVI-Bismuth 12 Gauge 3" 1 3/8 oz 1450 fps Waterfowl Shotgun Shells - 25 Pack

HEVI-Shot HEVI-Bismuth 12 gauge waterfowl shells deliver non-toxic performance without the velocity or pattern penalties you'd accept with steel. Loaded to 1450 fps with a 1 3/8 oz payload in a 3" hull, these bismuth rounds are 22% denser than steel, which means you can drop down a shot size and maintain the same lethality downrange—a real advantage when you're trying to tighten your pattern and extend your effective range on ducks and geese. The 25-pack keeps you supplied for a solid day at the marsh.

Bismuth is inherently safe in both modern and classic shotguns, so whether you're shooting an old heirloom or this year's semi-auto, you don't have to worry about bore damage or cycling issues. That density advantage translates to denser patterns and deeper penetration compared to steel of the same shot size, which is why a lot of serious waterfowlers have made the switch. The velocity also stays crisp, so your point-of-aim stays true from close work to longer shots.

If you've been hunting steel or lead and looking for a non-toxic alternative that doesn't require you to re-sight or completely rethink your load selection, HEVI-Bismuth fits the bill. It's not the cheapest option, but the performance-per-shot justifies the investment for hunters who want to close the gap between traditional ammunition and modern non-toxic requirements.
