Kent Cartridge Bismuth Waterfowl 12 Gauge 3" 1 3/8 oz #4 Shot - 25 Rounds/Box

Kent Cartridge Bismuth Waterfowl ammunition in 12 gauge 3" shells delivers a non-toxic alternative for duck and goose hunters who need reliable performance without the barrel-damaging reputation of steel shot. Each box contains 25 rounds loaded with 1 3/8 oz of #4 bismuth shot, engineered to handle the full range of waterfowl hunting scenarios from close-range pond work to longer passing shots over open water.

Bismuth's higher density compared to steel means you're getting denser patterns and better energy retention downrange—critical when you're trying to anchor birds in tough conditions. Unlike steel, bismuth won't compress in your barrel or accelerate wear on choke tubes, so you can shoot it confidently through any choke configuration without worry. The non-toxic formulation makes it compliant with waterfowl regulations in areas where lead and steel are restricted.

Kent's bismuth loads are clean-burning and consistent, qualities that matter when you're patterning your shotgun before the season opens or counting on dependable performance in the blind. #4 shot is a versatile choice for mixed flocks and typical waterfowl hunting distances. Whether you're hunting from a layout boat, a blind over decoys, or working a marsh, these shells give you the ballistics and reliability to make your shots count.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I shoot Kent Bismuth through any shotgun choke?

Yes. Bismuth is safe to shoot through any choke tube and won't damage or accelerate wear on barrel internals the way steel shot can. This makes it a worry-free option across different shotguns and choke configurations.

Is bismuth ammunition legal for waterfowl hunting?

Bismuth is a non-toxic alternative approved in waterfowl hunting areas where lead and steel are restricted by regulation. Always check your local hunting regulations before the season to confirm what's legal in your zone.

How does bismuth compare to steel shot for distance and wind?

Bismuth is denser than steel, which means it resists wind deflection better and maintains energy more effectively downrange. This density advantage makes it a strong choice for open-water and windy conditions where shot performance matters.
