If you’re going waterfowl hunting, you can’t (legally) do it with lead shot. But steel is not the only alternative to lead. There is also bismuth, which delivers appreciably greater kinetic energy to any duck that’s unfortunate enough to get in its way.
This Fiocchi Golden Waterfowl 12 Gauge shotshell is filled with 1-3/8 ounces of #4 bismuth shot. Bismuth is not as dense as lead: 9.78 g/cc, versus 11.34 g/cc. That said, bismuth is significantly denser than steel, which has a density around 8 g/cc. Because a bismuth shot pellet weighs more than a steel pellet of the same size, it’s able to conserve much more momentum as it moves its way downrange. The pattern will exhibit a flatter overall trajectory. It will hit the mallard with more force, too.
This is a 3” magnum shell, chock full o’ clean-burning powder that propels a heavy barrage of shot to a peppery 1,450 fps muzzle velocity. The extra juice helps compensate for bismuth’s relatively lower density. Made in the great state of Missouri: the Show-Me State, as in “Show me the bismuth!”
