HEVI-Shot HS16706 HEVI-Bismuth 16 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/8oz #6 Shot

The HEVI-Shot HS16706 HEVI-Bismuth delivers premium non-toxic performance for waterfowl hunters who demand reliable knockdown power. This 16-gauge load combines the density advantage of bismuth shot with proven ballistic consistency. Hunters gain access to restricted waterfowl areas while maintaining the stopping power needed for clean harvests.

What Makes This Different

Bismuth shot provides 22% greater density than steel while remaining completely non-toxic and safe for barrel use. Unlike steel shot that can damage older barrels, bismuth performs safely in any choke constriction without barrel restrictions. The 1 1/8-ounce payload delivers more pellets on target compared to lighter steel loads, increasing hit probability on fast-moving waterfowl.

Key Features

• Bismuth shot pellets - 22% denser than steel for improved penetration
• 1 1/8-ounce payload in proven 2.75-inch hull length
• Size #6 shot optimal for ducks and smaller geese
• Safe for use in any choke constriction including Full
• Non-toxic composition approved for waterfowl hunting
• 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
• Consistent powder charge for reliable velocities

Field performance shows effective ranges comparable to lead shot due to bismuth's superior density retention. The #6 shot size provides excellent pattern density for decoying ducks while maintaining enough energy for passing shots. Bismuth's malleability reduces barrel wear compared to steel shot, extending firearm life. This load functions reliably in semi-automatic shotguns without cycling issues common to lighter steel loads.
