Federal Premium Bismuth Shotshells

Federal's non-toxic shotshell loaded with bismuth pellets rated at 9.6 g/cc density, 22% denser than steel, making them an effective lead substitute for waterfowl hunting. Available in 12, 16, 20, and 28 gauge with 2-3/4" and 3" shell lengths, shot sizes 3 through 5, and muzzle velocities from 1350 to 1450 fps. Uses the FLITECONTROL FLEX rear-deploying wad, which patterns consistently through both ported and non-ported chokes. Safe for use in older fixed-choke shotguns that cannot run steel.
