HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hitter Tungsten/Steel Shotshells 20ga 3" 7/8oz 1450 fps #4 25/ct

HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hitter Tungsten/Steel Shotshells blend two materials to give 20-gauge waterfowl hunters the pattern density and range they need without relying on lead or steel alone. These 3-inch shells load 7/8 oz of shot in a carefully engineered mix: 20 percent tungsten at 12 g/cc paired with 80 percent steel at 7.8 g/cc. That combination lets you tighten your pattern at close and moderate distances while maintaining the pellet count and striking energy to anchor distant birds—a practical middle ground for ducks and geese in variable conditions.

At 1450 fps muzzle velocity with #4 shot, HEVI-Hitter delivers the ballistics waterfowlers expect from a tungsten blend without the cost or complexity of pure tungsten loads. The nontoxic payload meets all legal requirements for waterfowl hunting across the US. Each box contains 25 rounds, so you can pattern these shells and practice before opening day without draining your budget.

Whether you're hunting from a blind, pass-shooting, or working decoys, HEVI-Hitter gives you the flexibility to handle birds inside 40 yards and the reach to connect when they work the edges of your effective range. The HEVI-Shot wad system supports the hybrid payload, so pellets stay grouped through the barrel and air to your target.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the advantage of tungsten/steel over pure steel for waterfowl hunting?

Tungsten is denser than steel, so tungsten pellets carry more energy downrange and maintain tighter patterns at distance. By blending 20 percent tungsten with 80 percent steel, HEVI-Hitter gives you improved range and lethality without the cost of a full tungsten load, making it a practical middle-ground for hunters working variable distances and conditions.

Will HEVI-Hitter work in my 20-gauge shotgun?

Yes, these are standard 20-gauge 3-inch shells, so they'll chamber in any 20-gauge shotgun rated for 3-inch loads. Always verify your gun's chamber length before shooting—most modern 20-gauges handle 3-inch rounds, but some older or specialized barrels may be limited to 2.75 inches.

Are these shells legal for waterfowl hunting?

Yes, HEVI-Hitter is nontoxic shot, meeting all federal and state waterfowl hunting regulations in the United States. Always check your local regulations for any additional restrictions on shot size, daily limits, or hunting seasons before heading out.

How many pellets are in each shell?

The product record does not specify pellet count. Contact HEVI-Shot directly or check the ammunition box for exact pellet count with this load weight and shot size.
