BioAmmo 12 Gauge Ammo, an Alternative to Traditional Shotshell Hulls and Wads! — 7 products / 8 models — Page 1

Ammo science is constantly evolving to meet the challenges of modern times, and BioAmmo is the perfect example of this evolution. Their shotshell hulls are made of a biopolymer and are zero percent plastic. The wads also don't contain any plastic, and are a brown biodegradable and compostable material for both an environmentally and visually friendly alternative to standard white plastic wads.

Is BioAmmo any good?

In online head-to-head comparisons, BioAmmo Shotgun Ammo performs as well as traditional non-biodegradable shotgun shells. They maintain the same FPS (feet per second) muzzle velocity, shot weight, shell lengths, shot type, shot size, and primers. The difference is in the composition of the hulls and wads, cutting out the plastic and replacing it with environmentally friendly alternatives.

Where is BioAmmo made?

BioAmmo is made in Segovia, Spain, and is owned by the US parent company Ammo, Inc.

Why is there a shortage of 12-gauge ammo?

Although true that it has been harder to find ammo of any kind, this seems to be easing up some as manufacturers are ramping up production to meet demand. Since 12 Gauge Ammo is one of the most popular calibers, and definitely the most common shotgun gauge, it is being produced in larger quantities than less sought-after shotgun shells. It is actually more a matter of demand than a shortage, as ammo companies are producing as much or more ammunition than they ever have before. Because of these fluctuations, we put together an In-Stock Ammo page that you can bookmark and check frequently, we update it as soon as new inventory comes in.

What is the difference between BioAmmo and steel ammo?

The difference is in the shotshell hulls, not the shot itself. BioAmmo uses the same lead shot used in similar loads of Shotgun Ammo, and offers nontoxic non-lead, non-steel shot for waterfowling.
