HEVI-Shot HEVI-Bismuth Waterfowl 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/4 oz 1450 fps #6 Shot - 25 Rounds

HEVI-Shot HEVI-Bismuth waterfowl loads deliver non-toxic performance in a 12 gauge 2.75" shell that doesn't sacrifice range or knockdown power. Unlike steel, bismuth's superior density means you can drop down one shot size and still maintain the lethality you expect—a real advantage when you're working ducks and geese at distance. These loads move at 1450 fps and pack 1 1/4 oz of #6 shot in each round, giving you the ballistics to close gaps and make clean kills without relying on heavier, slower ammunition.

The best part? Bismuth is safe in both modern and classic shotguns. If you've been hesitant about switching off steel because your older gun or your hunting partner's heirloom 20-year-old Browning can't handle it, HEVI-Bismuth removes that barrier. You get a non-toxic alternative that respects your existing gear and the environment, with performance that competes directly with premium steel loads.

Each box contains 25 rounds, making HEVI-Bismuth Waterfowl a practical choice for a full season of hunting. Whether you're a serious waterfowler looking to maximize range on high-flying birds or someone stepping into non-toxic ammo for the first time, these loads offer the balance of density, velocity, and reliability that matters in the field.
