Description
The BioAmmo Pheasant 12 GA 4 Shot Lead is a heavy upland load for pheasants and other tough birds. BioAmmo loads 1-1/4 ounces of #4 lead shot in a 2-3/4 inch 12 gauge shell and builds both the hull and wad from plastic free, biodegradable materials. Each box holds 25 rounds.
Why Choose the BioAmmo Pheasant 12 GA 4 Shot Lead
Late season roosters are wary, flush wild and take a lot of energy to bring down cleanly. Large #4 pellets carry more energy and penetration at 35 to 45 yards than smaller shot, making this a classic late season rooster load.
The 1-1/4 ounce payload keeps pellet count respectable even with larger shot, which helps patterns stay effective at longer distances. It is a strong choice for wild birds, windy days and hunters walking big CRP fields.
BioAmmo builds each plastic free shotshell so that the hull and wad are designed to break down naturally, leaving less litter on the land you hunt.
Hunting Tips for the BioAmmo Pheasant 12 GA 4 Shot Lead
A heavy upland load produces noticeable recoil. Most hunters handle it fine for the handful of shots taken on a pheasant hunt, but a good recoil pad helps.
Modified or improved modified chokes usually pair well with #4 shot on flushing roosters. For close-holding birds early in the season, a lighter #5 or #6 load may be more comfortable and just as effective.
This is a lead load. Many public hunting areas, waterfowl production areas and some states require non-toxic shot for pheasants, so check local rules before you hunt. Store biodegradable shells in a dry place, since the components are designed to break down when exposed to moisture over time.

Who Should Buy This Load
Pheasant hunters chasing wild birds late in the season will appreciate the energy of #4 shot, and those who hunt private farms may value biodegradable pheasant shells that leave less plastic behind.
Biodegradable shells can cost slightly more and need careful storage. For most upland hunters, the trade-off is well worth it.

Pattern the load before the season. Larger shot patterns differently than small shot, and knowing where your gun prints at 35 yards builds confidence on flushing birds.
Carry a few shells of a lighter load as well for early-morning, close-holding birds, and switch to this heavier shell as birds get wilder later in the day.
Who it is for: 12 gauge upland hunters who want a heavy #4 lead load with biodegradable components for pheasants and tough birds. Follow all federal, state and local hunting regulations when using this ammunition.
