Kent Cartridge Bismuth Waterfowl 12 gauge 2.75" ammunition delivers a non-toxic shot option built for serious waterfowlers who want performance without steel's compromise. Each round holds 1 1/4 oz of #4 shot in a standard 2.75" hull, giving you the ballistics and pattern you expect from conventional loads while meeting non-toxic waterfowl regulations across the US. Whether you're hunting ducks, geese, or other legal waterfowl, bismuth's inherent properties make it a solid alternative for shooters looking beyond steel.
Bismuth's density advantage means denser pellet clusters downrange—better energy retention and cleaner kills at working distances. The material also burns cleaner through your bore than steel, and there's no risk of barrel damage since bismuth won't harden or deform your chokes the way harder shot can. That peace of mind matters on a long day in the marsh or over decoys. Because bismuth is softer than steel, it shoots safely in any choke constriction, making it ideal for hunters who switch between modified, full, and everything in between without worrying about pressure spikes or bore wear.
This case packs 10 boxes of 25 rounds each—250 rounds total—so you're covered for a season of practice and hunting. Kent Cartridge has been a trusted US ammunition maker for decades, and their bismuth loads come with the consistency you need when your shot counts.
