The HEVI-Shot HEVI-Bismuth Waterfowl 28 Gauge 2.75" shotshell is a non-toxic load purpose-built for duck and goose hunters who need clean, legal performance in sensitive water environments. Bismuth shot patterns reliably and delivers energy downrange without the density penalties some steel loads carry—making it a solid choice for 28-gauge gunners who want to honor both their quarry and waterfowl regulations.
Each round sends 1 ounce of #4 bismuth pellets downrange, a load size that balances payload and velocity for typical waterfowl distances. The 2.75" hull is the standard 28-gauge casing, so it cycles in any shotgun chambered for that gauge. Bismuth won't accumulate in the environment or pose toxicity concerns at public duck clubs and refuges—it's a responsible, legal choice wherever lead ammunition is prohibited.
The box holds 25 rounds, enough for a solid morning or afternoon hunt without the bulk of a full case. If you're running a 28-gauge and need to stay compliant on water, or you simply prefer bismuth's performance characteristics over steel alternatives, this load delivers the non-toxic performance waterfowl hunting demands.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this bismuth load work in my 28-gauge shotgun?
Yes—the 2.75" hull is the standard 28-gauge shell length. These rounds cycle in any shotgun chambered for 28 gauge.
Is bismuth ammunition legal for waterfowl hunting?
Bismuth is a non-toxic shot material and is legal for waterfowl hunting in regulated areas where lead ammunition is prohibited. Always check your local and state regulations before hunting.
How much shot is in each round?

Is bismuth better than steel for 28-gauge hunting?
