Kent Cartridge B12U306 Bismuth Upland 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/16 oz #6 Shot - 25 Rounds per Box, 10 Boxes per Case

Kent Cartridge B12U306 Bismuth Upland shotshells deliver a non-toxic option for 12 gauge upland hunting without sacrificing the reliable performance you expect from a mainstream shotgun round. Loaded with bismuth shot at 1 1/16 oz in #6, these 2.75" shells are purpose-built for hunters who need to comply with non-lead regulations or simply prefer bismuth's ballistic characteristics in the field. Whether you're hunting quail, grouse, or other upland game, bismuth shot patterns cleanly and delivers consistent energy downrange—ideal for the typical upland shooting distances where this load excels.

Bismuth has earned respect among serious shotgunners for its density and hardness compared to lead, which translates to tighter patterns and reliable energy retention. The #6 shot size sits in that sweet spot for upland birds—large enough for clean kills, small enough to pattern well through most choke tubes. Kent's reputation for quality ammunition means you're getting rounds loaded to consistent standards, shot to shot.

This case contains 10 boxes of 25 rounds each—250 shells total—making it a smart buy if you're a regular upland hunter or want to stock up before season. The 2.75" chamber standard fits virtually all 12 gauge shotguns, and the moderate 1 1/16 oz payload keeps recoil manageable for all-day hunting without wearing you out.

Are bismuth shells required for hunting in my area?

Bismuth is a non-toxic alternative to lead shot and is legal in many jurisdictions where non-lead ammunition is required, particularly in waterfowl and certain upland areas. Check your local hunting regulations—your state's fish and wildlife agency will specify which non-toxic materials are approved.

Are #6 bismuth shells good for upland hunting?

#6 shot is a popular choice for upland game birds like quail and grouse, offering a good balance of pattern density and individual pellet energy at typical upland shooting distances.
