The HEVI-Shot HS14706 HEVI-Bismuth delivers superior waterfowl performance with environmentally-safe bismuth shot that outperforms steel while remaining non-toxic. This 12-gauge load combines the density advantages of bismuth with consistent patterns for effective hunting in wetland environments. Hunters gain the knockdown power of lead-like performance without environmental restrictions.
What Makes This Different
Bismuth shot provides 22% greater density than steel, creating harder-hitting pellets that maintain energy downrange. The 1-1/4 ounce payload delivers more pellets on target compared to standard steel loads of similar weight. Pattern consistency remains tight through modified and improved cylinder chokes, while the softer bismuth composition reduces barrel wear compared to steel shot alternatives.
Key Features
- Bismuth shot pellets with 22% higher density than steel for superior energy transfer
- 1-1/4 ounce payload in #6 shot size for optimal waterfowl penetration
- 2.75-inch hull length compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns
- Non-toxic composition approved for waterfowl hunting in all flyways
- Softer than steel to reduce barrel and choke tube wear
- 25 rounds per box packaging for extended hunting sessions
- Consistent velocity and pattern performance across temperature ranges
Field performance demonstrates effective range extension over steel loads, with #6 bismuth pellets maintaining lethal energy at distances where steel begins to lose effectiveness. The load performs consistently in cold weather conditions without velocity degradation. Choke tube compatibility spans from cylinder to full constriction, though modified chokes typically produce optimal patterns. Recoil characteristics remain manageable while delivering the energy transfer needed for clean waterfowl harvests.
