Availability: In Stock
HEVI-Shot HS16702 HEVI-Bismuth 16 gauge waterfowl ammo delivers the non-toxic performance serious duck and goose hunters depend on, without the cost premium of steel-only loads. Loaded with bismuth shot in #2 size, this 2.75" shell carries 1 1/8 ounces downrange at 1350 fps—ballistics designed to reach crossing birds and decoys beyond typical 16-gauge range. If you shoot a 16 and want clean, effective waterfowl coverage that patterns reliably through your existing chokes, HEVI-Bismuth brings lead-like shot density and energy to EPA-regulated waters.
Bismuth shot occupies a unique middle ground in the non-toxic landscape. It's denser than steel, so it carries more energy per pellet at distance; it's softer than steel, so it won't damage older gun barrels or require tighter chokes to perform. HEVI-Shot's formulation pairs bismuth with their own shot quality and wad design to maximize pattern consistency—something that matters when you're calling birds into a decoy spread and need the first shot to count.
You get 25 rounds per box, a practical volume for a morning hunt or an afternoon at the pattern board. Whether you're hunting tight-cover timber or open marsh, shooting a classic 16-gauge doubles, or running a modern semi-auto, these shells offer a proven non-toxic alternative that doesn't force you to retrain your lead or second-guess your effective range.

Yes. Bismuth is softer than steel, so it won't damage barrel walls or require special choke tubes the way steel shot does. These shells work in standard 16-gauge shotguns. As always, check your owner's manual to confirm your gun is rated for the shell length and intended use.
Bismuth patterns similarly to lead and doesn't demand the tighter constriction that steel requires. You can typically run your existing chokes; however, shooting a few practice rounds through your setup is always smart to confirm pattern performance before the season.
HEVI-Bismuth is a non-toxic shot and complies with EPA waterfowl regulations. That said, regulations vary by region and season. Confirm with your local wildlife agency that bismuth is approved in your area before purchasing.
We don't have ballistic data on alternate shot sizes in this load. Contact HEVI-Shot directly or check their technical resources to compare performance across their 16-gauge bismuth line.
