12 Gauge – 2-3/4″ 1-1/4oz. #4 Shot – Federal Bismuth – 25 Rounds

Bismuth is far superior to steel when it comes to nontoxic shot. Steel is inexpensive, but with its density of only 8 g/cc it can have a hard time retaining enough downrange momentum to deliver a reliable kill shot. Thanks to its impressive density of 9.6 g/cc, bismuth performs nearly as well as lead for hunting waterfowl and upland game!

This 12 Gauge shotshell’s #4 bismuth shot is also significantly softer than steel. It still hits hard enough to penetrate deeply into its target, but it’s a great deal gentler on antique shotguns. Bismuth is also nonmagnetic – so much so, in fact, that a magnetic field actually repels it.
