Fed Bismuth 12ga 3" #4 25/250

Fed Bismuth 12ga 3" #4 shot delivers non-toxic performance for waterfowl and upland hunting where steel or tungsten alternatives may exceed budget constraints. The 3-inch shell format provides substantial payload in a standard 12-gauge receiver, while bismuth's density—falling between lead and steel—creates reliable downrange energy without the environmental liability of traditional lead shot.

#4 shot size represents the optimal balance for mixed-bag waterfowl hunting, particularly effective on mallards, pintails, and smaller diving ducks at typical pass-shooting distances. The bismuth pellet composition reduces barrel wear compared to steel shot, a meaningful consideration for hunters who rely on vintage or specialized shotguns where hard-shot ammunition presents durability concerns. The 25-round count per box and 250-round case quantity serve both casual hunters managing ammunition inventory and high-volume shooters during peak season.

This ammunition suits hunters in regions where non-toxic shot requirements are mandatory—nearly all federal waterfowl zones and many state refuges—without the recoil penalty that tungsten-based loads impose. Bismuth 12ga ammunition is particularly valued by shooters transitioning away from lead in classic shotgun platforms, since the material's proven pattern characteristics and velocity profiles align with historical load development on traditional barrels.
