Federal 12 ga 1-1/4oz #5 Bismuth Hi-Bird – Powerful 12 Gauge Upland Loads, 1330 fps, 25 Rounds

Description

The Federal 12 ga 1-1/4oz #5 Bismuth Hi-Bird load is built for hunters who want dependable patterns on pheasants and upland birds. Federal loads 1-1/4 oz of #5 bismuth shot to a rated 1330 feet per second in a 2-3/4 in 12 Gauge shell. Bismuth is a non-toxic shot that is nearly as dense as lead and soft enough to be safe in older shotguns, and the fiber wad breaks down naturally in the field.

Patterning your shotgun with a new load is the best way to know how it performs. Shoot a few rounds at a large sheet of paper at 25 to 35 yards with the choke you plan to hunt with, and check that the densest part of the pattern lines up with your point of aim. Trying a tighter or more open choke can make a real difference on fast, close birds.

Store shotshells in a cool, dry place in their original box, and keep loads with different shot sizes separated so you always grab the right shell in the field. Buying enough from the same lot for the whole season keeps velocity and pattern consistent from one hunt to the next, so your practice carries over to the field.

Pheasant hunting is one of the most popular upland pursuits in America, especially across the Great Plains and Midwest. Ring-necked pheasants are large, tough birds that often flush at the edge of shotgun range late in the season, so hunters favor heavier loads with larger shot sizes that carry enough energy to bring birds down cleanly.

Why Choose Federal 12 Gauge Shotshells

Hunters on public land and refuges often need 12 ga bismuth loads because lead shot is not allowed. This Federal Hi-Bird shell carries 1-1/4 ounces of #5 bismuth shot at 1330 fps, giving lead-like performance on pheasants and other upland birds.

These 12 ga non-toxic upland loads are also safe to shoot in older and fine shotguns that cannot handle steel shot. The fiber wad and the high density of bismuth give dense patterns and solid energy at typical upland distances.

Federal Premium has made ammunition in Anoka, Minnesota since 1922 and is one of the most trusted names in shotshells. Its Hi-Bird Fiber Wad Bismuth line was developed for demanding upland hunting, and federal 12 ga ammo from this line is chosen by bird hunters who want dense patterns and consistent performance on tough, fast-flushing birds.

These shotshells are a good fit for upland hunters using 12 gauge side-by-side, over-under, pump and semi-automatic shotguns, especially owners of vintage guns and hunters on lands that require non-toxic shot. Always confirm your shotgun is chambered for 2-3/4 in 12 Gauge shells, wear eye and ear protection, and follow all federal, state and local hunting laws.
