BioAmmo Lux Lead 12 Gauge - 2-3/4" 1-1/16oz. #5 Shot - 250 Rounds

A eco-conscious hunter will gather up all of his empty shells during his hunt. Still, even the best of us is bound to miss a few, and only an angel will take the time to find all of their wads. That’s why it’s impossible to avoid leaving plastic on the ground – unless you hunt with BioAmmo!

This 12 Gauge shell doesn’t have any plastic. Instead its wad and tube are both made of biopolymer, a material which is just like plastic with one exception: it is made out of vegetables.

If you leave one of these shells on the ground for two years, its tube and wad will both disappear. That is because microorganisms enjoy eating biopolymer, which they harmlessly break down into CO2, H2O and mineral salts.

This bio-compostable 12 Gauge ammo is not some novelty. It is also a perfectly capable hunting companion loaded with high-quality #5 lead shot, clean-burning powder and sensitive primers. BioAmmo’s wad is additionally designed to compress during ignition so it can mitigate felt recoil, and the petals it extends following ejection from the muzzle promote denser shot patterns.
