HEVI-Shot HEVI-Bismuth 20 gauge 3" waterfowl ammo brings non-toxic shot performance to hunters who run lighter shotguns or prefer the balance and feel of a 20. Bismuth shot is 22% denser than steel, which means you're getting more density downrange without the bulk—a real advantage in a smaller gauge. At 1 1/8 ounces of #6 shot traveling at 1400 fps, these shells are built for ducks and geese out to the distances typical of a 20 gauge hunter, and they'll cycle reliably in guns that might balk at heavier steel loads.

The other big draw: bismuth is safe for older fixed-choke and classic double shotguns that many hunters still trust. If you're running a fine side-by-side or an older pump gun, you don't have to choose between tradition and non-toxic compliance—HEVI-Bismuth handles it. Each box contains 25 rounds, so you've got enough for a season of opening days and mid-week hunts.

This is straightforward ammo for a specific job: legal, non-toxic waterfowl hunting in a 20 gauge platform. No gimmicks, no oversized claims—just bismuth shot at a density that works, in a shell that respects your gun.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will HEVI-Bismuth 20 gauge ammo work in older shotguns with fixed chokes?

Yes. Bismuth shot is safe for fixed-choke barrels and classic double shotguns that may not tolerate steel shot. This is one of the key advantages of bismuth over steel in older or finer guns.

What is the density advantage of bismuth, and why does it matter?

Bismuth is 22% denser than steel. In a 20 gauge with a 1 1/8 oz load, that extra density translates to better energy retention at distance, which is especially valuable in a lighter gauge.

What shot size is this load, and what is it best for?

#6 shot is the load configuration here—a classic waterfowl choice suitable for ducks and geese at typical 20 gauge ranges.

How many shells are in a box?

Each box contains 25 rounds.
