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

  • HEVI-Bismuth shot pellets - 22% denser than steel for deeper penetration
  • Safe for all choke tubes including full and extra-full constrictions
  • 1,350 fps muzzle velocity with 1-1/4 ounce payload
  • Premium wad design reduces barrel leading and improves patterns
  • Non-corrosive primers and high-quality brass heads
  • Compatible with semi-automatic, pump, and break-action shotguns
  • Packaged in weatherproof plastic cases for field reliability
Field testing shows consistent 30-inch patterns at 40 yards through modified chokes, with pellet retention exceeding steel loads by 15-20%. The bismuth composition maintains pellet integrity through feathers and bone while transferring maximum energy to the target. Hunters report clean kills on ducks and geese at extended ranges where steel shot loses effectiveness. The non-toxic formulation meets all federal and state waterfowl hunting requirements.
