The HEVI-Shot HS16713 HEVI-Bismuth delivers exceptional knockdown power for upland bird hunting with environmentally safe bismuth shot. This premium 16-gauge ammunition combines the density advantages of bismuth with consistent patterns that outperform traditional steel loads. Hunters gain extended effective range and cleaner kills on pheasants, grouse, and other upland game.

What Makes This Different

Bismuth shot provides 22% greater density than steel while remaining completely non-toxic and safe for sensitive hunting areas. The 1-1/8 ounce payload delivers more pellets on target compared to lighter steel loads, increasing hit probability on fast-flying birds. Unlike steel shot that can damage older shotgun barrels, bismuth remains soft enough for use in vintage firearms while maintaining superior ballistic performance.

Key Features

  • Bismuth shot pellets deliver 22% higher density than steel for increased knockdown power
  • 1-1/8 ounce payload in #3 shot size optimized for medium to large upland birds
  • 2.75-inch shells compatible with all 16-gauge shotguns including vintage models
  • Non-toxic composition safe for waterfowl areas and environmentally sensitive zones
  • Consistent shot patterns maintain effectiveness at extended ranges
  • Premium wad design reduces barrel fouling and improves accuracy
  • 25 rounds per box with 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing
Field testing demonstrates reliable cycling in semi-automatic shotguns and consistent ignition in all weather conditions. The #3 shot size proves effective on pheasants out to 40 yards while providing sufficient energy retention for clean harvests. Bismuth's ballistic coefficient exceeds steel shot, maintaining velocity downrange for improved penetration on heavy-feathered birds.
