HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hitter Tungsten/Steel Shotshells 12ga 3" 1-1/4oz 1500 fps #2 25/ct

HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hitter Tungsten/Steel Shotshells deliver a hybrid approach to waterfowl loads that punches above the weight class of conventional steel alone. By blending 20 percent high-density tungsten with 80 percent precision steel shot, these 12-gauge 3-inch rounds hit the sweet spot between pattern consistency and downrange energy—ideal for duck and goose hunters who need reliable performance across varied ranges.

The tungsten-steel combination is engineered to give you two advantages at once: tighter, more predictable patterns when birds are working closer or over decoys, and the raw pellet count and hitting power needed to anchor waterfowl at distance. At 1500 fps, the 1¼ oz shot charge carries enough momentum to be lethal where it counts, without the payload bloat that makes some premium loads unwieldy. The proprietary HEVI-Shot wad design supports the pattern integrity that makes this load competitive with much heavier, more expensive alternatives.

Nontoxic construction keeps you legal on any waterfowl water across North America. Each box of 25 arrives ready to load and shoot—no sorting or second-guessing. If you hunt ducks and geese seriously but want to avoid the cost and recoil penalty of full-tungsten shells, HEVI-Hitter rounds justify themselves over a season of crisp shots and clean kills.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are HEVI-Hitter shells legal for waterfowl hunting?

Yes. HEVI-Hitter rounds are nontoxic, making them compliant for duck and goose hunting in all US waterfowl zones.

How do HEVI-Hitter loads compare to full-steel or full-tungsten shells?

By pairing tungsten and steel, HEVI-Hitter delivers denser pellet patterns than conventional steel at comparable ranges, while costing considerably less than full-tungsten loads and producing less recoil. The blend gives you reliable energy at distance without extreme payload weight.

What's the effective range on ducks and geese with #2 shot?

The facts provided don't include tested effective range data. We recommend patterning your shotgun and ammunition combination at your expected hunting distances to determine your own confidence zone.

Will HEVI-Hitter shells work in any 12-gauge shotgun?

HEVI-Hitter are 3-inch 12-gauge shells. Confirm your shotgun is rated for 3-inch magnum loads before shooting. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific firearm.
