Kent Cartridge B123U425 Bismuth Upland 12 Ga 3" 1.5oz #5 Shot

The Kent Cartridge B123U425 Bismuth Upland delivers premium non-toxic performance for waterfowl and upland hunting where lead restrictions apply. This 12-gauge load combines bismuth shot technology with precision manufacturing to provide consistent patterns and reliable knockdown power. Hunters gain access to areas with lead shot prohibitions while maintaining the terminal performance needed for clean harvests.

What Makes This Different

Bismuth shot offers 24% greater density than steel while remaining completely non-toxic and environmentally safe. The 1.5-ounce payload delivers more pellets on target compared to standard 1.25-ounce loads, increasing hit probability on fast-flying birds. Kent's proprietary wad design protects barrel integrity while maintaining consistent shot patterns through improved chokes. This combination produces ballistic performance closer to traditional lead loads than standard steel alternatives.

Key Features

• Bismuth shot pellets provide superior density and knockdown power over steel
• 3-inch magnum shell length accommodates 1.5-ounce payload for maximum pellet count
• #5 shot size offers optimal balance of pellet energy and pattern density
• Non-toxic composition meets all federal and state waterfowl hunting regulations
• Precision-manufactured hulls ensure reliable feeding and extraction
• Compatible with all choke tube systems including tight constrictions
• 25-round boxes with 10-box case quantities for volume purchasing

Field performance testing shows consistent velocities and tight pattern distribution at extended ranges. The bismuth pellets retain energy better than steel shot, delivering effective terminal performance on ducks, geese, and upland birds at distances up to 50 yards. Weather-resistant primer and powder charges function reliably in temperature extremes from -20°F to 120°F. The harder bismuth composition resists deformation during barrel transit, maintaining pellet roundness for improved accuracy.
