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

The HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hitter Tungsten/Steel Shotshells deliver a hybrid approach to waterfowl hunting that bridges the gap between premium tungsten performance and the practicality of steel loads. These 12-gauge 3-inch shells pack 1¼ ounces of shot—20 percent premium 12 g/cc tungsten layered over 80 percent precision steel—at 1500 fps, engineered to pattern reliably from close range out to moderate distances while maintaining the pellet density and striking power needed for longer birds.

If you've wrestled with the choice between tungsten's dense, energy-rich performance and steel's economy and non-toxicity compliance, HEVI-Hitter removes that trade-off. The tungsten core gives you denser, harder-hitting pellets where it counts most; the steel foundation fills the pattern and keeps shot capacity high without excessive velocity or excessive cost. The result is a load that opens well on close ducks, maintains effective pattern on crosswind presentations, and doesn't run out of juice when birds are at the back edge of your effective range. These are loaded in HEVI-Shot's proven wad design and are fully non-toxic, making them legal for any waterfowl season.

Box of 25 rounds. Choose HEVI-Hitter if you want a tungsten-steel blend that handles close-to-moderate waterfowl hunting without the all-tungsten premium or the pure-steel compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will HEVI-Hitter work in my standard 12-gauge shotgun?

Yes. The 3-inch shell fits any standard 12-gauge receiver rated for 3-inch magnum loads. Check your gun's chamber marking to confirm it accepts 3-inch shells.

What's the advantage of the tungsten/steel blend over pure steel?

Tungsten is denser and harder than steel, so it retains energy and penetration better at distance. By blending 20 percent tungsten with 80 percent steel, HEVI-Hitter gives you improved long-range performance and lethality compared to all-steel, while keeping the load lighter and more economical than full-tungsten ammunition.

Are these legal for waterfowl hunting?

Yes. HEVI-Hitter is fully non-toxic, meeting all federal and state requirements for waterfowl hunting.

What game are these loaded for?

#BB shot is designed for ducks and geese. The 1¼ oz payload and 1500 fps velocity suit close-to-moderate waterfowl ranges.
