Bismuth shot delivers a non-toxic alternative for waterfowl hunters and wingshooters who need reliable performance without steel's recoil penalty.

Before purchasing ammunition in California, review California firearm laws to understand eligibility requirements for your location.

Bismuth Composition and Shot Density

Bismuth shot patterns tighter than steel while matching lead's ballistic properties at a lower velocity. The 1 1/4-ounce payload in these 2.75-inch shells suits upland game, clay courses, and waterfowl work where lead ammunition isn't permitted. TacticCAL Gun Store stocks Remington's Premier line for shooters who want consistent performance without the expense of tungsten-based loads. Each box contains 25 rounds, making these shells practical for frequent use. Browse our gun shop.

Frequently asked questions

What makes bismuth shot different from steel or tungsten?

Bismuth sits between steel and lead in density, producing tighter patterns than steel while costing less than tungsten. It won't damage older shotgun barrels and performs well at standard velocities without excessive recoil.

Is 5 shot size appropriate for upland birds and waterfowl?

Number 5 shot works for upland game like pheasant and quail, and functions as a versatile waterfowl round in states where bismuth qualifies. Shot selection depends on distance, game species, and local hunting regulations.
