The Federal PHBX1444 Premium HEVI-Bismuth delivers exceptional knockdown power with environmentally safe bismuth shot technology. This 12-gauge load combines Federal's precision manufacturing with HEVI-Shot's dense bismuth pellets for superior penetration and clean kills on waterfowl.
What Makes This Different
Bismuth shot provides 22% greater density than steel while remaining completely non-toxic and safe for older shotgun barrels. Unlike steel shot that can damage choke tubes and barrel walls, bismuth compresses on impact rather than deforming the bore. The 1-1/4 ounce payload delivers more pellets on target than comparable steel loads while maintaining safe chamber pressures in vintage firearms.Key Features
