HEVI-Shot HS19004 HEVI-Bismuth 410 Gauge 3" 9/16 oz 1300 fps Waterfowl Shotgun Shells - 25 Pack

The HEVI-Shot HS19004 HEVI-Bismuth 410 gauge ammunition brings non-toxic shot to hunters who run older shotguns and lightweight 410 platforms. Built around bismuth pellets, which are 22% denser than steel, these 3-inch rounds pack enough downrange performance to make classic side-by-sides and fixed-choke doubles competitive again for waterfowl. At 9/16 oz and 1300 fps, they're designed to deliver a denser pattern without requiring a modern gun or backbreaking recoil.

The 410 is already a specialist's round—it favors precision over powder—and HEVI-Bismuth plays to that strength. Bismuth is inherently harder and tighter-patterning than steel at equal payload, meaning you get more lethal pellets in the kill zone downrange. That density translates to retained energy on real birds, not just marketing claims. And because bismuth is proven safe for older, finer shotguns that many hunters refuse to retire, HEVI-Shot opened the 410 non-toxic option to a crowd that had been stuck with lead or saddled with expensive specialty ammo.

This is 25-round ammunition for serious 410 shooters who know what they're doing with a small-bore gun and respect its limitations. Come opening morning, when fog rolls and the birds work, you'll have a shell that won't cost a fortune per shot but will perform when it matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are HEVI-Bismuth 410 shells safe for older and classic shotguns?

Yes. Bismuth is softer and less corrosive than steel shot, making it safe for older fixed-choke shotguns and fine double-gun barrels that may not handle steel. Check your gun's manual to confirm, but HEVI-Bismuth was specifically designed with classic shotguns in mind.

Why choose bismuth instead of steel for a 410?

Bismuth is 22% denser than steel, meaning more pellets can fit the same payload, delivering a tighter pattern and better downrange energy. For a small-bore round like the 410 that already trades volume for precision, that density gain matters in the field.

What is the muzzle velocity of this load?

HEVI-Bismuth 410 3-inch loads in this model run 1300 fps, balancing pattern integrity and recoil for shootable performance in lightweight guns.

Is this a non-toxic waterfowl load?

Yes. Bismuth is a non-toxic alternative to lead and is approved for waterfowl hunting in areas where non-toxic shot is required.
