20G Bismuth HD

20G Bismuth HD Shotgun Cartridge

Premium Non Toxic

Gamebore have always been at the forefront of cartridge development and innovation and our Bismuth HD cartridges continue that tradition. 

As the UK's only shot manufacturer, we have turned our expertise to Bismuth and using a revolutionary production technique here at our factory, we can now produce Bismuth HD shot using a unique process that results in superb, uniform, malleable shot which performs like lead and eliminates the issue of shot shattering as seen with Bismuth produced using the more traditional method.

Bismuth is the closest material in terms of density and softness to lead and so has no restrictions on choke and can be loaded in cartridges with a standard fibre wad.

Totally safe for the environment and for use in traditional game guns, these cartridges deliver everything you expect from a Gamebore product, namely the highest quality and outstanding performance. 

Loaded in 70mm case length, these will suit the most discerning of game shots where an alternative lead is required.

All cartridges should be stored at room temperature in a dry location. Adverse temperatures may affect performance. Do not expose to extreme temperatures.
