Winchester Ammunition Bismuth, 12 Gauge, 3″, 15 Round Box, 12GA #1

Product Description

The Winchester Bismuth 12GA 3″ #1 shotshells are premium non-toxic ammunition engineered for serious hunters. These 3-inch magnum shells pack 1-3/8 ounces of bismuth shot in each round. You get 15 rounds per box, ready for the field or range.

Superior Bismuth Shot Performance

Bismuth shot is 22% denser than lead, requiring less shot for equivalent patterns. Furthermore, it delivers superior hardness compared to steel alternatives. This means tighter patterns and deeper penetration on game birds. Additionally, bismuth produces less noise and recoil than steel loads.

The #1 Shot Size Advantage

The #1 shot size excels at medium to longer ranges with consistent energy. These shells maintain velocity better in windy conditions than smaller shot sizes. Therefore, you get reliable knockdown power at extended distances. The 3-inch magnum case provides extra powder capacity for sustained performance.

Ideal for Waterfowl and Upland Hunting

These Winchester shotshells are engineered for waterfowl hunters needing non-toxic ammunition. However, they also perform excellently for upland game birds. As a result, these rounds suit both dedicated waterfowl seasons and versatile hunting scenarios. Bismuth won’t damage older shotgun barrels like steel can.

Why Choose Bismuth Over Other Options

Bismuth is completely non-toxic and legal in all waterfowl areas across North America. Moreover, it’s safer for traditional gun barrels than steel shot. Indeed, many hunters prefer bismuth for its cleaner, more efficient ballistic performance. The WIN BISMUTH 12GA 3″ delivers consistent downrange results every shot.
