Bismuth Shot

NEW & PROUDLY MADE IN THE USA!
We are proud to introduce a Non Toxic Lead Free alternative Bismuth Shot for reloading. Rotometals Bismuth Shot is great for waterfowl and upland game birds where lead is now banned. Rotometals Bismuth Shot is a also a great alternative for lead free ballast weight and has a similar density to lead.
Fact: There is no manufacturer of “perfectly round” Bismuth Shot in today’s market.
Roundness- Note unlike lead or steel Bismuth shot is not round, but will still shoot and pattern excellent! BB's may have small satellites or tails but this actually helps to not generate as much drag in the air similar to a golf ball ie less sticky in the air.
Fact: No other non-toxic shot performs as similar to lead than Bismuth Shot.
