Federal HEVI-Bismuth brings serious knockdown power to your upland and waterfowl hunts with bismuth pellets that pack 22% more density than steel. At 9.6 g/cc, these pellets carry energy farther downrange and pattern tighter than steel loads of comparable size, giving you the confidence of lead-like performance in a nonlead shell.
The real advantage of bismuth is flexibility. Because it's denser than steel, you can step down a shot size and still deliver equal energy. With this #5 load running 1450 fps, you get more pellets per shot than you'd find in a larger steel load, creating denser patterns and better odds of connecting on longer birds. The bismuth material itself is softer than steel and tungsten, which matters if you're running an older shotgun or a vintage double that can't handle the harder metals.
Federal paired these bismuth pellets with their rear-deploying FLITECONTROL FLEX wad, which stays with the shot longer before separating. This helps patterns stay tight and consistent whether you're shooting through ported chokes, fixed full chokes, or anything in between. The wad design works by using rear brake fins that deploy at the right moment to keep pellets grouped effectively all the way downrange.
These shells come loaded at 1450 fps with 1 3/8 oz of shot in a 3-inch hull, delivering the balance between power and pattern density that serious upland and waterfowl hunters appreciate. The bismuth pellets are alloyed and cast in the USA, and the nonlead material makes them compliant for areas that restrict lead ammunition. Whether you're working pheasants over a point or calling ducks into the decoys, this load gives you options in the field.
Yes. Bismuth is softer than steel and tungsten, making it safe for vintage shotguns and fixed-choke barrels that can't handle harder shot materials. This makes these shells a solid choice if you want to take a family heirloom back into the field without worrying about barrel damage.
HEVI-Bismuth pellets are 22% denser than steel, which means they carry more energy downrange and retain velocity better at distance. Because of this density advantage, you can use a smaller shot size than you would with steel and still achieve equal or better downrange performance with tighter patterns.
The rear-deploying FLITECONTROL FLEX wad works consistently with both ported and non-ported chokes. This versatility means you can use these shells in most shotgun setups without worrying about pattern inconsistencies from different choke configurations.
Bismuth is a nonlead shot material, so these shells comply with nonlead ammunition requirements in areas that restrict lead. Check your local regulations for your specific hunting area to confirm they're approved for your intended use.
