HEVI-Shot HS14001 HEVI-Bismuth 12GA 3" 1-3/8oz #1 Shot Waterfowl

The HEVI-Shot HS14001 HEVI-Bismuth delivers superior waterfowl performance with environmentally safe bismuth shot that hits harder than steel while remaining non-toxic. This 12-gauge load combines the knockdown power hunters need with the density patterns required for clean, ethical kills at extended ranges.

What Makes This Different

Bismuth shot provides 22% greater density than steel shot, creating tighter patterns and deeper penetration on waterfowl. Unlike lead alternatives that compromise performance, HEVI-Bismuth maintains consistent velocities and energy transfer downrange. The proprietary shot buffer technology reduces pellet deformation during firing, resulting in rounder pellets that fly straighter and pattern more consistently than standard steel loads.

Key Features

• Bismuth shot composition - 22% denser than steel for superior knockdown power
• 3-inch magnum shell with 1-3/8 ounce payload for maximum range effectiveness
• #1 shot size optimized for large ducks and geese at 40+ yard distances
• Non-toxic formulation approved for all waterfowl hunting areas
• Shot buffer technology prevents pellet deformation for tighter patterns
• 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
• Compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns rated for 3-inch magnum loads

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1,350 fps muzzle velocity with maintained energy at ranges where steel shot begins to lose effectiveness. The bismuth composition performs reliably in cold weather conditions without the brittleness issues associated with other non-toxic alternatives. Hunters report clean kills on large Canada geese at distances exceeding 45 yards, with pattern density remaining effective for pass shooting scenarios.
