Kent Cartridge Bismuth Waterfowl 20 gauge ammunition delivers the non-toxic shot performance you need for legal waterfowl hunting without the environmental impact of lead. This 3-inch shell carries a 1 oz payload of #4 shot—a versatile choice for duck and goose hunting at typical field distances. If you're running a 20-gauge and want to stay compliant in steel-shot-only zones while maintaining effective pattern and velocity, bismuth offers a softer recoil impulse than steel, making it a popular option for hunters who shoot a lot or prefer a gentler shooting experience.
Bismuth shot patterns denser than steel at equivalent weights, which translates to tighter clusters downrange—a real advantage when you're glassing birds at 40+ yards. The 1 oz load in #4 shot size hits the sweet spot for waterfowl: enough pellet count for reliable hits, large enough pellets to retain energy on larger ducks. At 1400 feet per second muzzle velocity, you get classic waterfowl ballistics without surprising recoil, so you can shoot accurately on follow-up birds without shouldering a flinch.
Each box contains 25 rounds, making it convenient for weekend hunts or breaking in a new gun. If you stock up, Kent packages these by the box, so plan your volume accordingly. Whether you're hunting a managed marsh, a public impoundment, or private ground with bismuth regulations, this load delivers the ballistics and legality serious waterfowlers expect.
