Federal Premium HEVI-Bismuth 12 gauge ammunition brings the density and down-range energy you need for both upland birds and waterfowl without compromising on pattern consistency. This 2.75" load pairs 1 1/4 oz of #5 bismuth shot at 1350 fps with Federal's FLITECONTROL FLEX wad technology, delivering a non-toxic option that patterns reliably in both classic and modern shotguns. Whether you're hunting in sensitive wetlands or chasing upland game in states with bismuth requirements, this 25-round box gives you a hard-hitting, pattern-focused alternative to steel.
HEVI-Bismuth pellets are cast and alloyed in the USA and deliver a density advantage that matters: at 9.6 g/cc, they're 22 percent denser than steel, which means more energy retained at distance and denser patterns on target. The softer bismuth composition is gentler on older gun barrels and choke tubes than steel or tungsten, making it a practical choice if you're rotating between vintage doubles and modern semi-autos. The rear-deploying FLITECONTROL FLEX wad works to tighten patterns in both ported and non-ported chokes, so you're not guessing whether your setup will throw consistent spreads.
Federal's partnership with HEVI-Shot—the established leader in alternative-shot manufacturing—shows in the execution. This isn't a budget non-toxic round; it's built for shooters who demand the same performance from bismuth as they expect from traditional lead loads. The #5 shot size works well across mixed upland flocks and smaller waterfowl, and the velocity keeps energy high across typical hunting distances.

| Shot Weight | 1 1/4 oz |
| Shot Size | #5 |
| Muzzle Velocity | 1350 fps |

Yes. HEVI-Bismuth is softer than steel and tungsten, making it safe for both vintage and modern shotgun barrels and choke tubes. The 2.75" shell length and standard pressures mean it'll function in any 12 gauge that handles standard ammunition.
HEVI-Bismuth pellets are 22 percent denser than steel at 9.6 g/cc, which means they retain energy better at distance and deliver higher pellet counts in comparable loads. You'll also get denser, more consistent patterns from the FLITECONTROL FLEX wad system.
HEVI-Bismuth is a non-toxic shot option, so it's approved for use in waterfowl hunting areas. Check your state or local regulations, as requirements vary by region.
The #5 pellet size is versatile for upland birds and smaller waterfowl, making it a solid all-purpose choice for mixed hunting situations where you might encounter multiple species in a day.
