Kent Bismuth Waterfowl 20GA 3" 1oz #5 Shot 25rd Box B203W285

The Kent Cartridge B203W285 Bismuth Waterfowl delivers premium non-toxic performance for waterfowl hunters seeking consistent patterns and reliable knockdown power. This 20-gauge load combines bismuth shot with precision manufacturing to achieve velocities that rival traditional lead loads while meeting federal non-toxic requirements.

What Makes This Different

Bismuth shot provides 24% greater density than steel, creating tighter patterns and deeper penetration at extended ranges. Unlike steel shot that can damage older shotgun barrels, bismuth maintains the soft characteristics of lead while delivering 95% of lead's density. The result is a non-toxic alternative that performs nearly identical to traditional lead loads without the barrel wear concerns of steel shot.

Key Features

• Bismuth shot delivers 1,350 fps muzzle velocity for flat trajectory
• 1 oz payload of #5 shot provides optimal pellet count for ducks and geese
• 3-inch magnum shell length maximizes powder capacity and range
• Safe for use in all choke constrictions including Full and Extra Full
• Compatible with vintage shotguns and modern firearms alike
• Precision-formed shot maintains spherical shape for consistent patterns
• High-quality hull construction ensures reliable feeding and extraction

Field performance testing shows this load maintains effective patterns out to 50 yards, making it suitable for pass shooting and decoy work. The bismuth composition creates clean, humane kills on waterfowl while reducing crippling losses compared to lighter steel loads. Weather-resistant primer and powder formulation ensure reliable ignition in wet hunting conditions typical of waterfowl seasons.
