The B&T Dual Bismuth 12 Gauge delivers superior waterfowl performance with environmentally-safe bismuth shot technology. This premium hunting ammunition combines the density advantages of bismuth with consistent patterning for reliable harvests in wetland environments.
What Makes This Different
Bismuth shot provides 24% greater density than steel while remaining completely non-toxic for waterfowl hunting. The dual-size shot configuration maximizes pattern effectiveness at varying ranges. Unlike traditional steel loads, bismuth maintains energy transfer comparable to lead shot while meeting all federal non-toxic requirements for migratory bird hunting.
Key Features
- 1-1/5 oz bismuth shot payload for maximum knockdown power
- Dual shot size (#3 and #4) for versatile range performance
- 2.75" hull length fits all 12 gauge shotguns
- Non-toxic bismuth composition safe for all environments
- Premium brass-plated steel case construction
- Consistent 1,300 fps muzzle velocity
- 10 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (100 total rounds)
Field testing demonstrates consistent patterns at ranges from 25-45 yards, making these shells effective for both early season teal and late season mallards. The bismuth composition performs reliably in sub-freezing temperatures without the brittleness issues common with steel shot. Hunters report clean kills with minimal crippling loss due to the superior energy retention of bismuth pellets.
