#Bioammo

At this year’s SHOT Show, there were a number of interesting ammunition manufacturers. One of which was BioAmmo from Spain. Their ammunition is specially designed for hunters and clay shooters looking for quality cartridges with maximum efficiency in terms of speed and penetration but also minimise plastic usage. BioAmmo explain that their ‘cases and wads are made with 100% compostable and biodegradable biopolymers that do not leave toxic residues in nature.’

While perusing the floor of IWA 2022 we came across a company that none of us had ever heard of before – Bioammo. With hunters, outdoorsmen, and shooters becoming increasingly environmentally conscious, Bioammo set out to make completely biodegradable ammunition that won’t leak toxic chemicals into our environment and eventually our very own food chain. For example, one spent shotgun hull, wad cup, and base wad equal on average about 3 to 5 plastic shopping bags in material – that is a lot of plastic to leave laying around. So what’s the deal with Bioammo?

Did you know that a shotgun shell contains between 3-5 times the plastic as a grocery bag? In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves speaks with the gang at BIOAMMO about their biodegradable shotgun ammo, where they aim to shoot for completely biodegradable and non-toxic ammo for shooters and game.
