HEVI-Shot HEVI-Bismuth Upland 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/4 oz 1400 fps #3 Shot - 25 Rounds

HEVI-Shot HEVI-Bismuth upland shotshells deliver non-toxic performance in a 12 gauge load built for hunters who need clean, reliable patterns without switching to steel. These 2.75" shells pack 1 1/4 ounces of bismuth shot at 1400 fps, engineered to hit harder than standard steel loads of the same size. Because bismuth runs 22% denser than steel, you can confidently drop down a shot size and still achieve the lethality you'd expect from a larger pellet—meaning tighter patterns and better energy transfer on upland game.

Safety matters. HEVI-Bismuth is approved for use in both modern and classic shotguns, so whether your go-to gun is a new auto or a family heirloom, you won't have to worry about barrel or choke compatibility issues. The #3 shot in this load sits in that sweet spot for upland hunting: large enough for reliable knockdown on pheasant and quail, small enough to deliver the pattern density that separates clean kills from frustrating misses.

Each box contains 25 rounds, giving you enough for a serious day afield or a solid practice session before the season opens. If you've been eyeing bismuth but hesitated over cost or performance doubts, HEVI-Shot's track record and dense pellet construction make a real case for switching. You've already put in the scouting and the hours—your ammunition deserves to match that effort.

Should I use the same shot size in HEVI-Bismuth as I would in steel?
