The HEVI-Shot HS15502 HEVI-Bismuth delivers superior waterfowl performance with environmentally safe bismuth shot technology. This 10-gauge load combines the knockdown power of heavy shot with non-toxic composition required in waterfowl hunting zones. Each 3.5-inch shell packs 1 3/4 ounces of precision-engineered bismuth pellets for maximum effectiveness on large waterfowl at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Bismuth shot offers 22% greater density than steel while remaining completely non-toxic and safe for wetland environments. Unlike steel shot that can damage older shotgun barrels, bismuth maintains the soft characteristics of lead while delivering superior penetration and energy retention. The #2 shot size provides optimal pellet count and individual pellet energy for geese, ducks, and other large waterfowl species.
Key Features
- 1 3/4 oz bismuth shot load for maximum knockdown power
- 3.5-inch magnum shell length for extended range capability
- #2 shot size optimized for large waterfowl hunting
- Non-toxic bismuth composition safe for all shotgun barrels
- 22% denser than steel shot for improved penetration
- Clean-burning powder for consistent velocities
- 25 shells per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
Field performance demonstrates consistent patterns and reliable ignition across temperature extremes. The bismuth pellets maintain their spherical shape better than steel, resulting in tighter patterns and more effective energy transfer on impact. Hunters report clean kills at ranges where steel shot typically wounds rather than drops birds cleanly.
