Federal Premium Hevi-Bismuth shotshells deliver 22% more density than steel with 1-1/4oz of #5 shot at 1350 fps. Safe for classic and modern shotguns, these bismuth pellets pattern consistently for upland and waterfowl hunting.
Federal Premium Hevi-Bismuth shotshells represent a significant advancement in non-toxic ammunition technology. These shells combine the stopping power you need with the versatility that matters in the field.
At 9.6 g/cc, Hevi-Bismuth pellets are 22 percent denser than steel, delivering substantially more energy downrange. This density advantage means:
The rear-deploying FLITECONTROL FLEX wad creates efficient, predictable patterns in both ported and non-ported chokes. Bismuth's softer composition—gentler than both steel and tungsten—makes these shells safe for use in classic shotguns with tighter chokes, as well as modern firearms.
Whether you're pursuing upland birds or waterfowl, these 2-3/4" shells with 1-1/4oz of #5 shot at 1350 fps provide the terminal performance serious hunters demand. The metallic properties of bismuth pellets ensure consistent, lethal results across varied hunting conditions.
Pellets are alloyed and cast in the USA, backed by Federal's reputation for precision ammunition manufacturing.
