Bismuth BB shot handily exceeds #2 lead assuming 1-1/2 oz. payloads for each, at the expense of a drastic decrease in pellet count: 87 pellets vs. 131. Kent's Bismuth #2 is 150 pellets, better than #2 lead, but the 50 yard penetration is comparatively weak, at 2.05 inches vs. the 2.64 inches of #2 lead. ...Web

Cjncall. This is from the Boss website, " By surrounding our bismuth with a thin layer of copper, there's significantly less pellet fragmentation vs. unplated bismuth. Copper plating also lessens pellet drag when entering the meat. This gives you 15% better shot penetration for quicker, cleaner, more ethical kills.Web

Due to its density—18.1 g/cc (grams per cubic centimeter)—TSS (tungsten super shot) is an efficient killer of turkeys, waterfowl, upland birds, and predators. The heavy weight of TSS is leveraged to use smaller pellet sizes than lead, bismuth, or steel, delivering denser patterns downrange while increasing penetration and energy at the target.Web

The denser the pellet, the better it retains killing power. 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. Bismuth is just about as dense (and lethal) as lead, plus it's nontoxic.Web
