Our duty as hunters is to use every advantage that’ll help us make clean kills. Bismuth and tungsten are the future of waterfowl.

[@ZEEKUPP]

Bismuth seems to be gaining popularity. I have heard many good things about it.

[@MrJiimsmith]

It straight up works! Used it this morning. Stones them dead!

[@JuniorB.KC41]

Those are a killer shell but nothing beats Boss Shotgun Shells. None of that flax seed crap. Just good O’l fashioned Charge,Powder,Cooper plated Bismuth. = Clean Kills. 2-3/4 #5’s are stoning honkers all day long with Boss.

[@oneshot000123]

Absolutely agree. I’ve been using them for 2 years and don’t plan on using anything else as long as they’re in business.

[@stevechmiel6016]

Been shooting boss this year out of my 20 exclusively. 4 hunts 28 birds so far. The boss is just devastating on them. My new favorite shell. Also love the Hevi X 4’s in 20 for long range. Killing mallards and honkers easy at 50-60 yards with the Hevi X. I put two bismuth boss then pop a Hevi x for the 3rd one.

[@jonathanhoward1497]

Are you saying you're killing honkers at that distance, 50-60 yards, with a 20 gauge?

[@DuckalopeOutdoors]

I’m the same with the clean miss or the clean kill with the full choke. I’ll prob never shoot hevi anything just bec the pattern I get with my shotgun Kent does the best. I did a video on my channel of the pattern test of all the different loads. At the end of the day which ever patterns the best and kills is the winner!

[@lindonpierce6076]

We just got us some boss bismuth shells for this year never tried it before but can't wait to see your shot cam on them bismuth shells

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

👍🏼

[@fakegucci2244]

Jesus Christ saves. God Bless everyone reading this and everyone you know.

[@thedude-wb5vx]

you really need to try Boss. that stuff is nuts. killed a canadian goose at 45 yards with 2 3/4 5 shot dropped like a ton of bricks very ethical. the 3" #2's are heavy hitters too. very tight patterns with every load ive tried

[@deputyja1]

Boss is the same as this

[@Kelo63]

Cheaper too

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

They’re actually not. They come in boxes of 20 shells not 25. But regardless, I’m not trying to convince anyone.

[@rickness1706]

My old man A5 he has he uses the Ds investors chocks with the modified chock that Browning recommended yeah it's a good size but my old A5 you can't ues chocks. I use copper plated bismuth 2 3/4 #3 eley hyperspeed 31 grams. in NZ it' kills duck and gesse dead.

[@TheChancerdog1]

I tried the Hevi X and a few other blends. Pattern for me was Winchester Blind Side. Just puts the pattern all over the birds.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

👍🏼

[@chengsterboi07]

Would like to see this compare to hevi x

[@jeremyjohnston2583]

I want that hat!!! Where do I buy it?

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

www.theflywayscollective.com

[@buckimmel3159]

It's better than most guys can shoot. You need to choke it like lead. Still isn't tungsten

[@mariohebert7742]

I stop shooting any Hevi-Shot products IMO they are company that spend to much on marketing then on there products performance. BOSS BISMUTH is by far the best bismuth load.

[@figsoutside1981]

Hevi-Shot makes awesome loads. Currently use hevi steel and love it. Used hevi metal and loved it too, just expensive. Several years ago I bought couple 10rnd boxes of Hevi-Shot goose for the last shell in tube and Many times I crushed mallards and cans at 60yrds. I cut one of them open too and most were Not perfectly round. Reminded me of lead for sure. Great vid

[@garrettclark5698]

Ya lethal to your bank account

[@keegan6561]

My 9 dollar box shells kill just fine

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

👍🏼

[@moosemilk8956]

I pretty happy with the heavy metals but they don't even compare too the old Winchester bismuth. Are these the same make up as the old bismuth?

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Ya we love Hevi Metal too. I don’t know if Hevi bismuth is the same makeup

[@Rodney_Childs]

Congrats on your partnership with Hevi Shot! I love Hevi Metal!

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks!

[@jeremymatlock2049]

Thats amazing !! I have heard nothing but great things About the heavy steal, bismuth and the whole line of products. Im getting a box .. oh and FYI i have used a full choke as well for years Carlson..love it .

[@edwardhaayer3019]

Every one seems to switch to a full choke I went out of the gate with a kicks hf full still getting use to it

[@LaydlesLife]

Man just un-crimp the top of the shell, reload the BB's and wad when you're done and it's a good shell again. that's what I've done before especially with that expensive of a shot lol

[@danielmcdonald5366]

Shot the hevi metal this weekend. Did not find a single piece of shot in any of the birds that I breasted out. Clean pass through. No misfires or jams.

[@justinsnyder6716]

I just bought some hevi-metal 3in #3 for my 20 gauge and the pattern at 40 was ridiculous. I have never taken a shot that far before with my 20 but I wouldn’t be scared to with those!

[@Machen4KillinTime]

3" 4 shot Kents with a full choke. Probably a better pattern and less than half the price and a lot more velocity. But if Hevi shot wants to give me a couple free cases I'd shoot them.

[@cafowler559]

That’s my shell of choice as well

[@morganyoder4277]

I love hevi metal, the opener at Los Banos was tough, not many birds, and tons of people, not a good mix. We got a stud mallard, lost a GW teal, and missed a couple others. (at least my dad and I knocked the rust off.)

[@thewh1tewolf184]

We pulled down 12 in banos on Saturday, we had #2 resies. Great way to start the season

[@morganyoder4277]

@@thewh1tewolf184 must've been nice, we were 36 on the sweat line. Good times no matter what. There were almost exclusively mallards in the afternoon, I saw maybe 20 wood ducks, a couple spoonies, and one green wing. To be fair though, I got some scouting in and found a juice hole of a mallard spot.

[@danielharlen7836]

Thanks to your earlier pattern testing videos im trying out the kicks high flyer modified choke this year and I've been impressed so far. My federal blue box has been doing the job I just haven't got my hands on any hevi metal shells yet but in the future I will definition need to try them.

[@ksoutdoorsports]

Love Bismuth for long shots, pass shooting, or late season birds.

[@nickbarrickman8005]

Went on 2 hunts last year with cheap steel shot had bad results. Bought a case of hevishot hammer and a case of hevi Metal in 20 for my son and some hevi steel to try too, also got the hevi chokes too. Made my decision after watching your vids.

[@nickbarrickman8005]

I’m new to waterfowl

[@easeshot655]

I went for early duck in pa,,,,, we saw 4 ducks. It sucked. I’m ready for late November here

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Ya, opening is cool but the fun begins in another month

[@thefeatheredfrontiersman8135]

I really don't like any loads that have different sizes or density mixes. How it shows up on paper is just one thing. At least with my single shot fixed cylinder choke it had a really bad shot string. I missed a ton of shots last year because of Browning wicked blend. My typical go to for anything past 20 yards is Winchester elite blindside. I miss pre COVID ammo quality.

[@cougarhunter8304]

Not impressed used it this year it patterned usable despite the wad slits being not even. shot geese with hevi bismuth 3” #2 didn’t penetrate the breast at 25/30 yards the shot fractured on impact with about only a inch of penetration some not that much 7 hits to the breast on the one goose that came down not one penetrated into the vitals hit to the wing only reason it came down all others that day keep flying all shots 25/35 yards cupped up easy shots after seeing the poor Performance glad i didn’t order 2 cases one was enuff of a waste $350 down the drain wont even use the remaining 9 boxs

[@kenstout9823]

100%Bismuth can be fired threw tight choke's and not damage the gun unlike steal. So you can take out granpa"s shotgun and not worry about blowing it up. Great video brother.

[@redskyoutdoors7148]

I have shot #4 hevi bismuth through the jebs chokes for 2 years, the tightest choke is deadly up to 60 yards. Would be great for you out in cali. If you ever come back to wi for hunts you are welcome to come out to shoot up the farm with me.

[@michaelelliott9903]

I have heard that you need a tighter choke to shoot bismuth shot and that they have fragments from the shot with some choke tubes so that being said what choke tubes would recommend. Powermaster and kicks choke tubes have that stud ring inside of them which could cause fragmentation of some other pellet. Wondering if there were other choke tubes like jebs or Carlton that would be better. Thanks.

[@jeremyfranks9587]

That watermelon shot was awesome!

[@davidkepley9634]

I use this in 10ga 3 1/2" mag, my go to turkey load, this stuff is awesome! Worth the $85 a box for me!

[@codymil2392]

I shot hevi-hammer all last year and loved it. Bought a case of hevi steel 3 inch #2 for conservation goose season and I was putting Ross and snows down one shot no problem. I will only use to brands hevi and federal.

[@duckbrian7973]

That’s awesome vid. I used bismuth this year and gotten some harvest. I can email you some pictures. Just reply.

[@140PatrolWaterfowl]

Easily my favorite ammo, it’s like hitting them with sludge hammer. Spendy but if you figure less ammo wasted on cripples 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

My Exact thoughts man

[@havokwonder1212]

Washington state duck and goose opener I went out hunting with this Exact load Hevi bismuth 4shot 3 inch. I was targeting mallards but out of no where some massive honkers flew over my decoys at about 30 yards and I shot my first triple on geese with 4 shot. No cripples and they all folded. I was left in awe. My jaw was on the ground I didn't know what to do I was so pumped. So 4 shot can wack MASSIVE geese at 30 yards.i was using a benelli M1super 90. with Carlson's none ported Full choke. 6.95

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Great to hear! We have lots of stories like this ourselves. It works!

[@NeilNork]

NO ITS NOT. TRIED 20 GAUGE # 2 SHOT . PUT IT ON CHRONOGRAPH SAYS 1400FPS. OUT OF MY CZ OVER UNDER 28 INCH WAS BETWEEN 1080 AND 1155 FPS. TOTAL SCAM

[@seanfoltz7645]

"Steel shot is about 7.8 grams per cubic centimeter (gr/cc); bismuth ups the density to 9.6 gr/cc; lead runs 10-11 gr/cc depending on its alloy content of antimony and maybe a touch of arsenic." So the real question is whether the extra potential velocity you'll get from the light bismuth translates into more foot pounds of energy striking the target if you have the option to use lead. If you're somewhere that lead is banned then bismuth is definitely superior to steel, but if you aren't, is the increase in cost really getting you an increase in performance?

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

You cannot shoot waterfowl in the US with lead.

[@SomewhereInWisconsin]

Good stuff. I actually bought a case of this a couple months ago. Like it so far!

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Awesome

[@matthewconnor4067]

Hey brotha you think this out of the wife’s 28ga would be a good duck combo. The 12ga is to much for her and she already has her 28ga upland auto. Thanks!

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Absolutely. That’s all I use with my 20 and it’s like shooting a 12 as far as knockdown goes. When I buy a 28 that’s what I’m gonna shoot out of it

[@fullstrapoutdoors9154]

First, awesome video its here 😏😀🦆👈

[@petermiller5494]

Do you eat ducks with 10 to 15 holes through the breast meat? Even when the pellets pass right through there is some bruising around the hole.

Ya we do. You can clean up a little bit sometimes. I just rinse it good

[@thunderlewis9352]

It’s opener what you doin😂

You mean that dirty round is in you gun? Bismuth at 50$ a box?! No thank you. Get 3-4 boxes of steel shot for your 2$ a shell 🙄 or 50$ for 25 Shotshell box ugh prices are unbelievable

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

These are $37 a box. Def not in the steel price range. Not for everyone, each to their own.

[@mackolacko2058]

@@MidValleyMercenaries there’s only two reasons for bismuth, older people use to lead and complain about steel, again another old problem is old barrels that cannot handle steel so pushes them to buy bismuth. Where I’m at right now just went into sportsman’s warehouse the 3” are 44.99$ and 3.5” are 49.99$ I just don’t get why spend so much for 15-20+ better range etc it’s just encouraging the long shot wing shooters to only cripple and wound birds vs a quick clean dispatch. Besides that price is to expensive even at your price you can buy 2-3 boxes vs one of these boxes. Just my opinion, more ammo keeps you in the game all season. At your rate at my prices 7-8 of your boxes of ammo is a price of a new Remington 870 vs having 21-28 boxes of steel shot

[@ventureoutdoorswithkirk]

Not sure what the cost is on those, but I saw a box of Tungsten Upland game shells in one of the big box stores for $50/box. Hate losing birds no matter what you hunt, but that could get expensive. By the way saw Gallagher do the same thing to a watermelon.....lol

@@MidValleyMercenaries Thanks. 👍

[@surlyfan]

I picked up a box of the Hevi Bismuth 3.5” #2 for late geese to supplement my Boss 2 3/4” #5 Bismuth. Bismuth is softer than steel, needs to be choked a little tighter than steel.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks for the info. I use a kicks full so what youre saying is with bismuth it would shoot more like a modified or improved modified?

[@surlyfan]

@@MidValleyMercenaries generally yes (Improved Modified IMO), most waterfowl chokes are listed for the constriction they produce with steel. Most factory chokes are listed based on a constriction for lead. Personally, I think IM is ideal for my needs - 296 pellets in my 1 1/4oz #5 Bismuth load. More energy per pellet. It’s been a while since I used a Kicks (I hunt an Over/ Under) but I like the constriction labeling on Carlson’s so that’s what I use. My setup is an IM first barrel and Full second barrel. Bismuth is legit, this is my second season running Bismuth only (Boss).

Did you stick with Full Choke with the bismuth? I know most guys use Full or I. Modified when shooting steel as it tends to want to open up a bunch but the bismuth flies more like lead I think. You going to do a review after duck season.

[@oneshot000123]

Hevi is behind the game on the bismuth. Boss shot shells already stole that market for cheaper. Unless you’re sponsored and get your shells for free, both Kent and boss are cheaper than hevi. Bosses 2-3/4” #5’s will smoke geese at 40 yards no problem.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

There are some places you can find Boss .09 cents cheaper per shell. In some places Hevi Bismuth is cheaper. I’ve seen Kent’s for $44 a box which is several dollars more than Hevi Bismuth. No one bought or sponsored my case of 20ga. Hevi Bismuth that I just bought. I have no doubts boss is a great product. It’s bismuth no matter what company sticks it in a shotshell. Yes, we are an ambassador now, But I will say this, I only speak well of something I truly believe, hence buying their product for the last 2 years with my own money. Just showcasing a great product. Appreciate your input Danny

[@oneshot000123]

@@MidValleyMercenaries I can respect that you like hevi and I agree bismuth is deadly no matter what. Boss is the only company that sells boss though, there’s no middle man or distributor. That’s how they’re cheaper. If you could buy hevi straight from hevi it probably would be much cheaper too.
