HEVI-Shot HS16702 HEVI-Bismuth 16 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/8oz #2 Shot

The HEVI-Shot HS16702 HEVI-Bismuth delivers premium non-toxic performance for waterfowl hunters demanding maximum effectiveness from their 16-gauge shotgun. This bismuth-based ammunition provides superior density compared to steel shot while maintaining barrel-safe properties for vintage and modern firearms alike.

What Makes This Different

Bismuth shot offers 22% greater density than steel, creating harder-hitting pellets that retain energy downrange for cleaner kills. Unlike steel shot that can damage older barrels, bismuth maintains the soft characteristics needed for safe use in classic shotguns with fixed chokes. The 1 1/8-ounce payload delivers substantial knockdown power while the 2.75-inch shell length ensures compatibility across all 16-gauge platforms.

Key Features

• Bismuth shot pellets provide 22% higher density than steel for superior penetration
• Safe for use in vintage shotguns and tight choke tubes
• 1 1/8-ounce payload delivers maximum stopping power in 16-gauge platform
• Size #2 shot optimal for medium to large waterfowl at extended ranges
• 2.75-inch hull compatible with all 16-gauge chamber lengths
• Non-toxic composition meets federal waterfowl hunting regulations
• 25 rounds per box provides adequate supply for hunting sessions

Field performance demonstrates consistent patterns and reliable ignition across temperature extremes. The bismuth composition maintains pellet integrity through barrel rifling and choke constrictions, delivering tight patterns at 40+ yard ranges. Hunters targeting ducks, geese, and upland birds benefit from the increased lethality compared to steel alternatives, while the non-corrosive primers ensure reliable function in adverse weather conditions.
