Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes HEVI-Shot HEVI-Bismuth Upland ammunition ideal for upland hunting?

A: HEVI-Shot HEVI-Bismuth Upland ammunition is ideal for upland hunting due to its bismuth shot, which is denser than steel but softer than tungsten. This provides excellent performance and penetration while being safe for use in older shotguns. The 16 gauge 2.75" shell with 1.125 oz of #3 shot offers a good balance of pattern density and knockdown power for upland game birds.

Q: Is this ammunition safe to use in older or classic shotguns?

A: Yes, HEVI-Shot HEVI-Bismuth Upland ammunition is safe to use in older or classic shotguns.

This allows hunters to use their favorite vintage firearms while complying with non-toxic shot regulations.

Q: How does the performance of bismuth shot compare to lead?

A: Bismuth shot performs very similarly to lead, with a density about 86% that of lead. This means it retains energy well downrange and produces dense, effective patterns.

A: Each box of HEVI-Shot HEVI-Bismuth Upland 16 Gauge ammunition contains 25 shells. A full case consists of 10 boxes, totaling 250 shells per case.
