Hunting ducks and geese with a 10 gauge? Pick up this 250 round case of HEVI-Bismuth HS15502 10 gauge 3-1/2 inch 1-3/4 ounce #2 bismuth shot, a premium non-toxic waterfowl load.
Federal law requires non-toxic shot for waterfowl, and most hunters default to steel. Steel is affordable, but it is much lighter than lead, so pellets lose energy quickly and it can damage older barrels and chokes. Bismuth solves both problems. It is about 25 percent denser than steel, so each pellet carries more energy downrange for cleaner kills on big ducks and geese. HEVI-Bismuth is also soft enough to be safe in older, fixed-choke, and vintage shotguns that can’t handle steel. HEVI-Shot loads a heavy 1-3/4 ounce payload of #2 shot at 1,350 fps, an excellent combination for decoying and pass-shooting geese and big ducks. Bismuth pellets also pattern well through standard modified and improved modified chokes, so you do not need special steel-rated tubes.
The 10 gauge remains the heavyweight of waterfowl guns, prized by goose hunters for its dense patterns and extra reach. This 3-1/2 inch load fits 10 gauge shotguns like the Browning BPS 10, Remington SP-10, and Ithaca Mag-10, along with many classic double guns. Always confirm your gun is chambered for 3-1/2 inch 10 gauge shells before use. Since you should pattern the same load you hunt with, a 250 round case lets you test several chokes at 30 and 40 yards and still stock up for multiple seasons. #2 shot is a versatile size for geese over decoys and large ducks such as mallards and canvasbacks.
This HEVI-Shot ammo is new production, non-toxic, and non-corrosive, loaded in 3-1/2 inch 10 gauge hulls. Each box holds 25 rounds, and ten boxes make up this 250 round case. Store the boxes in a cool, dry place away from solvents so they stay ready for opening day.
