Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes HEVI-Bismuth shotshells unique for waterfowl hunting?

A: HEVI-Bismuth shotshells are unique for waterfowl hunting because they are 22% more dense than steel, allowing hunters to drop down a shot size for the same lethality. This 12 gauge load features #2 shot at 1450 fps, providing excellent performance for waterfowl. The bismuth material is safe to use in both modern and classic shotguns, offering versatility for hunters with different firearms.

Q: Can these HEVI-Bismuth shells be used in older shotguns?

A: Yes, HEVI-Bismuth shells are safe to use in both modern and classic shotguns. This makes them an excellent choice for hunters who own vintage firearms or those with thin-walled barrels that may not be suitable for steel shot. The softer bismuth material won't damage older barrels like steel shot can.

Q: What is the advantage of using #2 shot in this HEVI-Bismuth load?

A: The #2 shot in this HEVI-Bismuth load offers an excellent balance of pattern density and energy retention for waterfowl hunting. Due to bismuth's higher density compared to steel, these #2 pellets perform similarly to #1 steel shot, providing effective lethality at longer ranges while maintaining a good pattern for increased hit probability.

A: Each box of HEVI-Shot HEVI-Bismuth Waterfowl 12 Gauge ammunition contains 25 shells. This quantity allows hunters to have an ample supply for a day's hunt or for practice sessions at the range.

Q: What is the muzzle velocity of these HEVI-Bismuth shells?

A: The muzzle velocity of these HEVI-Bismuth shells is 1450 fps (feet per second). This high velocity contributes to the shells' excellent performance, providing flat trajectories and maintaining energy downrange for effective waterfowl hunting.
