This 28 gauge load features #6 shot at 1350 fps, providing excellent performance for waterfowl hunting. Additionally, bismuth is safe to use in both modern and classic shotguns, offering versatility for hunters with different firearms.

Q: How does the 28 gauge HEVI-Bismuth compare to steel loads?

A: The 28 gauge HEVI-Bismuth load offers superior performance compared to steel loads.

However, always check local hunting regulations to ensure compliance with shot material and size restrictions for different game types.
