Fiocchi Golden Waterfowl Bismuth Shotshells
$70.99 CAD — Available in store
Fiocchi’s Golden Waterfowl Bismuth load is the newest, and deadliest, addition to the beloved Golden Waterfowl line from the Italian shotshell manufacturer. The terminal advantage that waterfowl hunters gain when using premium non-toxic shotshell alternatives such as bismuth or tungsten is undeniable. Their heavier density simply allows them to hit harder and subsequently penetrate and kill waterfowl more efficiently than their steel counterpart. Fiocchi’s Golden Waterfowl Bismuth loads are no exception.
What’s Behind Bismuth?
Bismuth was the first non-toxic steel alternative to arrive on the scene after the lead ban in the early 1990’s. With a density of 9.75g/cc, bismuth falls smack in the middle between steel (7.5g/cc) and lead (11.34g/cc), making it roughly 25% denser than the steel used in standard waterfowl payloads. Besides the increase in terminal performance, bismuth gives hunters one other noteworthy advantage. Due to its increased density, bismuth allows hunters to decrease their shot size and still achieve equivalent downrange energy. Decreased shot size allows for more pellets in the hull, and more pellets in the hull means denser patterns and more dead birds.
