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

HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hitter tungsten/steel shotshells combine two materials in a single load designed to handle waterfowl from close decoys to distant passing flocks. These 12-gauge 3" shells blend 20 percent tungsten (12 g/cc density) with 80 percent steel (7.8 g/cc), creating a payload engineered to maximize pattern density and pellet count where it matters most. At 1500 fps muzzle velocity with a 1-1/4 oz shot charge in #3 size, they deliver the knockdown power waterfowl hunters need without sacrificing the even, predictable patterns that come from steel shot alone.

The tungsten-steel hybrid approach offers a practical middle ground. Tungsten's density concentrates energy downrange where distance shots demand it, while the steel majority keeps your ammunition economical and your gun cycling smoothly. The carefully engineered HEVI-Shot wad helps separate these layers and maintain pattern integrity from the muzzle to the end of your effective shooting distance. Nontoxic construction makes them compliant for all waterfowl hunting situations.

Whether you're setting up for morning ducks on a small pond or waiting for geese to work into your spread, these shells give you the versatility to handle both close-range and longer-range opportunities in a single box. That blend of pattern and power eliminates the guesswork of choosing between pure tungsten loads and traditional steel—you get both advantages in one shotshell.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes HEVI-Hitter different from straight tungsten or steel loads?

HEVI-Hitter pairs tungsten's superior density with steel's proven reliability and economy in a single payload. The 20/80 tungsten-steel blend gives you tighter patterns and energy at distance (where tungsten excels) without the premium cost and potential cycling issues of full tungsten loads.

Will these shells pattern well at typical waterfowl distances?

Yes. HEVI-Shot engineered this load to deliver large, effective patterns from close decoys out to moderate range, while the tungsten component preserves pellet density for longer shots. The specific shot size (#3) and wad design are built to maintain pattern integrity across your normal shooting window.

Are HEVI-Hitter shells nontoxic and legal for waterfowl hunting?

Correct. These shells use nontoxic shot and are compliant with waterfowl hunting regulations wherever nontoxic ammunition is required.

What gauge and length are these shells?

These are 12-gauge 3-inch shells loaded to 1500 fps with 1-1/4 oz of shot, a standard and versatile combination for 12-gauge waterfowl guns.
