The HEVI-Shot HS14002 HEVI-Bismuth delivers superior waterfowl performance with environmentally safe bismuth shot that hits harder than steel at extended ranges. This 12-gauge 3-inch load combines 1-3/8 ounces of #2 bismuth shot with consistent velocities for clean harvests on ducks and geese.
What Makes This Different
Bismuth shot provides 22% greater density than steel while remaining completely non-toxic and safe for sensitive wetland environments. The material's malleable properties reduce barrel wear compared to steel shot, while delivering energy retention that exceeds steel performance at distances beyond 40 yards. Federal and state regulations approve bismuth for all waterfowl hunting areas without restriction.
Key Features
- 1-3/8 ounce bismuth shot load delivers maximum knockdown power
- Non-toxic bismuth composition safe for all hunting environments
- 3-inch magnum shell length for extended range capability
- #2 shot size optimized for medium to large waterfowl
- Consistent powder charge ensures reliable cycling in semi-automatic shotguns
- 25 shells per box with 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
- Compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns rated for 3-inch shells
Field performance shows bismuth maintaining lethal energy at ranges where steel shot begins to lose effectiveness. The shot pattern remains tight through modified and full chokes, making it suitable for pass shooting and late-season hunting when birds are wary. Weather-sealed primers and hulls function reliably in wet conditions typical of waterfowl hunting environments.
