Federal Federal Premium Hvfb12hw5 12 2.75 114 Fibr Wad Bis 25/10

Federal Premium High Velocity 12 gauge 2.75" bismuth shot offers hunters a non-toxic alternative that doesn't require compromising on performance. Built around a 1140 feet-per-second load with a fiber wad design, this ammunition pairs denser bismuth pellets with Federal's proven over-powder wad technology to deliver energy downrange while leaving minimal plastic residue in the field. If you hunt waterfowl, upland game, or shoot clays in areas requiring non-toxic shot, this round delivers the ballistics you expect from Federal Premium ammunition without the environmental footprint of steel.

The 9.6 g/cc bismuth payload sits 22 percent denser than comparable steel loads, which means each pellet carries more kinetic energy to the target. That density advantage translates to denser patterns and more consistent performance across both modern and classic shotgun platforms. The cellulose-based filler and gas-sealing wad design keep shot column integrity tight, so you get the pattern consistency that makes a difference in the field.

Whether you're bound by non-toxic ammunition regulations or simply prefer bismuth's ballistic profile, Federal's fiber wad system keeps you from leaving wad debris scattered across your hunting area—a small detail that reflects respect for the land. Each box contains 25 rounds, so you've got enough for a day of hunting or clay shooting without breaking stride.
