    12 Gauge Boss Copper Details

    Bismuth is out. Copper is in.

    The next generation of non-toxic shotshells is here. Boss Copper delivers the same trusted performance our Legacy Copper-Plated Bismuth shells were known for. Tight patterns, lethal penetration, and consistency you can count on - now engineered in copper.

    Here's the run down, straight from the shop floor:

    Boss Copper packs 94% the density of bismuth but brings 3× the hardness - meaning those pellets don’t deform as much. They cut through the air clean, with less drag and more consistency. The result? Uniform, punishing patterns that stay tight downrange and punch with identical penetration in ballistic gel.

    Copper’s softer than steel, so it’s old gun and fixed-choke friendly. Thirty-yard spreads are dialed-in tight with F-IM-Mod, and long shots sing with IM to Mod. Early field reports echo what we heard with bismuth - same knockdown power, same confidence - minus one thing: fragmentation.

    This is the next era of Boss performance.

    Reached out to ask a question about these shells. Was replied to quickly and with excellent feedback. Shipping was super fast. Got the 3” B/2 and they patterned great in my Mossberg 500 with an Indian Creek Black Diamond Assault choke. Probably a little too tight for these shells (.680 restriction) but they still impressed me holding a very tight pattern out to 40 yards. Now just need to put some fox and coyotes in front of them to see how they perform.

    Got a chance to try the 3/5 coppers on divers in the East Bay, stuff hits hard, no complaints at all. While everyone else was unloading steel on cripples mine were DOA. Give this stuff a go, you won’t be disappointed. No jams, easy recoils (Sx4). Let’s goooo!

    Tried new copper 3/5's combo today. Five out of seven stone dead before they hit the water. Have yet to pattern, but I'd say BOSS crushed it. Shooting with Benelli SBEII with Kicks full choke in 20+ mph cross wind 35- 40 yard out.

    Recent was able to get out with my grandpas old browning A5 and shot shorty 3/5 copper and they performed flawlessly. Could not tell a difference from bismuth to copper, also great it’s safe for older guns. Patterned well with gun now having removable choke either, just had to shoot ducks over decoys.

    Boss shells are extremely effective. I've been very pleased with their products, fast delivery and customer service. I recently had a minor issue with an order and Boss went above and beyond to remedy it. Allyson was extremely helpful!

    Tested these 3/5 3” shells out of a SX4 code black and GForce Muller passing choke both 12ga. Both patterned good out to 40 yards. Hope this helps someone choose the right choke for their gun. Good luck all
