HEVI-Shot HS19715 HEVI-Bismuth Upland 410 Gauge 3" 9/16 oz #5 Shot - 25 Rounds

The HEVI-Shot HS19715 HEVI-Bismuth Upland 410 gauge shells are built for hunters who want non-toxic performance without sacrificing effectiveness on upland game. These 3-inch rounds pair bismuth shot with a 9/16 oz load of #5 pellets, delivering the density and energy needed for clean, ethical kills on dove and small game. Bismuth is 22% denser than steel, which means better downrange lethality—a real advantage when you're working brush and open fields where longer shots are part of the game. At this payload and shot size, you get a pattern that handles typical upland distances with authority.

What sets these shells apart is their compatibility with older shotguns and fine classic doubles. Many upland hunters treasure vintage shotguns—fixed choke barrels, heirloom doubles, guns that are too valuable or too worn to trust with modern steel. Bismuth shot is safe for those guns in ways that steel can be rough on. If you're running a classic side-by-side or over-under, you can load these with confidence. The 1300 feet-per-second muzzle velocity gives you a balanced load: enough speed for reliable ballistics, without the sharp recoil spike of hotter rounds. That matters on a full morning of hunting, especially if you're shooting a lighter upland gun.

Each box contains 25 rounds, so you've got enough to pattern your gun and put in a solid day afield. The non-toxic formulation means you can hunt in most regulated areas where lead shot is restricted, opening up more water-adjacent upland opportunities. Whether you're chasing early-season doves or working through a briar patch for quail and grouse, these shells give you a straightforward, effective option that respects both your gun and the game.
