HEVI-Shot HS14502 HEVI-Bismuth Waterfowl 12 Gauge 3.5" 1.5 oz 1500 FPS 2 Shot - 25 Rounds

HEVI-Shot HEVI-Bismuth waterfowl ammunition brings non-toxic performance to your 12-gauge setup without forcing you to sacrifice pattern density or downrange energy. Loaded to 1500 FPS with 1.5 oz of #2 shot in a 3.5" hull, this 25-round box delivers bismuth pellets engineered specifically for the demands of duck and goose hunting. Bismuth is naturally denser than steel, which means you can match or exceed the effectiveness of traditional steel loads while using a smaller shot size—a real advantage when you're trying to keep patterns tight at distance.

The appeal of bismuth for waterfowlers comes down to versatility: it's safe to shoot through both modern shotguns and older, classic guns that might not tolerate steel's hardness. If you've been shooting steel and wondering if there's a middle ground between steel performance and lead's illegal status on public water, bismuth closes that gap. You get the non-toxic compliance you need, the reliability of a proven pellet material, and the ballistic advantage of higher density in a single box.

HEVI-Shot has been in the bismuth game long enough to get the formula right. These loads are built to pattern cleanly and deliver consistent velocity, so when you're lined up on pintails or mallards at the edge of effective range, you know what you're throwing downrange. At 1500 FPS with premium bismuth pellets, this is ammunition engineered to reward the preparation and skill you've already put into your hunt.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shotguns can safely shoot HEVI-Bismuth ammunition?

HEVI-Bismuth is safe for both modern and classic shotguns. Unlike steel, bismuth won't harm older gun designs, making it an excellent choice if you're hunting with a cherished vintage gun or a new semi-automatic.

Why would I choose bismuth over steel for waterfowl?

Bismuth is denser than steel, meaning the same payload of bismuth pellets delivers more energy downrange. This density advantage also lets you use one shot size smaller than you would with steel and maintain comparable effectiveness—potentially giving you a tighter pattern at distance.

What's included in the box?

Each box contains 25 rounds of HEVI-Bismuth loaded to the specifications listed: 12-gauge 3.5" shells with 1.5 oz of #2 shot at 1500 FPS.

Is HEVI-Bismuth legal for waterfowl hunting?

Yes. Bismuth is a non-toxic shot material approved for waterfowl hunting on all public waters where non-toxic ammunition is required.
