Fiocchi Golden Pheasant Bismuth shotshells (brand part no. 12GPB6) load 1-1/4 ounces of #6 bismuth shot in a 12 gauge, 2.75-inch hull, Fiocchi’s new high-end, non-toxic upland offering. The load uses high-density 9.75 g/cc bismuth, denser and softer than steel, giving it patterning characteristics closer to traditional lead while still meeting non-toxic shot requirements. Fiocchi precision-loads Golden Pheasant into a moisture-resistant, sealed hull, protecting the powder and primer from humidity so performance stays consistent shot after shot in the field. The finer #6 shot size gives a denser pattern than #4, a common pick for hunters who value pellet count over per-pellet energy on smaller upland birds. For upland hunters who want premium non-toxic performance without steel’s patterning compromises, this shotgun shell from Fiocchi is built for exactly that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why bismuth instead of steel or lead? Bismuth is non-toxic like steel but denser and softer, patterning more like traditional lead shot while meeting non-toxic requirements.

Why choose #6 over #4 shot? #6 gives a denser pattern with more pellets, a common choice for smaller upland birds where pellet count matters more than per-pellet energy.

What does the sealed hull do? A moisture-resistant, sealed hull protects the powder and primer from humidity, keeping performance consistent shot after shot.
