Fed Bismuth 20ga 3" #5 25/250

Fed Bismuth 20ga 3" #5 shot is a non-toxic waterfowl and upland game load engineered for hunters who demand clean kills without environmental compromise. Bismuth shot delivers performance comparable to lead while meeting regulatory requirements in sensitive wetlands and protected areas where non-toxic ammunition is mandatory or preferred.

The 3-inch magnum shell with #5 shot size balances payload and pattern density for medium to longer-range presentations. Bismuth's inherent density—approximately 10.7 g/cc compared to lead's 11.3 g/cc—delivers velocity and energy retention across typical hunting distances. The #5 shot diameter suits waterfowl like ducks and geese, as well as upland birds where penetration and pattern tightness matter. The 25-round box (5 rounds per sleeve) provides convenient field quantities for a day's hunting without excessive bulk.

This load addresses hunters operating under non-toxic shot mandates in flyway wetlands, coastal marshes, and state wildlife areas where lead ammunition is prohibited. Bismuth's non-toxic composition satisfies federal and state regulations while maintaining the ballistic characteristics serious waterfowl hunters expect. Upland hunters pursuing pheasant or grouse in protected regions benefit from the same regulatory compliance with field-proven effectiveness. Shooters accustomed to lead loads will recognize the handling and performance profile, reducing the learning curve when transitioning to compliant ammunition.
