Hevi-Shot Hevi-Xii Shotshells 12 Ga 3" 1-1/4Oz 1500 Fps #4 25/Ct

Hevi-Shot Hevi-XII shotshells deliver tungsten-based ballistics engineered for serious upland and waterfowl hunters who demand more knockdown power per shot. The 12-gauge 3-inch magnum loads pack 1-1/4 ounces of tungsten pellets traveling at 1500 fps, giving you the lethality of larger shot sizes with tighter patterns and deeper energy retention downrange. If you're tired of skybusting or leaving birds wounded, Hevi-XII ammunition is built to close the gap between your lead and cleaner harvests.

Tungsten's density advantage over traditional lead means Hevi-XII pellets retain velocity and energy far longer than conventional shotshells. The #4 shot size in this load strikes a proven balance for most upland game and can reach birds that would typically require larger shot—without the recoil penalty or pattern degradation. Loaded in 25-round boxes, these shells fit standard 12-gauge shotguns and are sized for 3-inch chambers.

Whether you're hunting late-season roosters over open prairie, jumping ducks from sloughs, or working thick cover where range and energy matter, Hevi-Shot ammunition has earned its reputation among serious wing shooters. If clean kills and ethical hunting are your standard, this is the ammo that backs it up.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shotguns can shoot Hevi-XII 3-inch shells?

Hevi-XII 3-inch shells are designed for 12-gauge shotguns with 3-inch chambers. Always verify your shotgun's chamber length before loading—firing 3-inch shells in a 2-3/4-inch chamber can damage the firearm or cause injury. Check your owner's manual or have a gunsmith confirm your chamber length.

How do Hevi-XII pellets compare to steel or lead shot?

Tungsten pellets used in Hevi-XII loads are significantly denser than lead or steel, meaning they retain velocity and energy over distance better than either alternative. This density allows #4 tungsten to deliver the knockdown power comparable to larger lead shot, which can help you pattern tighter and cleaner without overshooting your intended game.

Are Hevi-XII shells compatible with my standard 12-gauge shotgun?

Hevi-XII loads are standard 12-gauge ammunition and will chamber and cycle in any 12-gauge shotgun. However, you must confirm your shotgun has a 3-inch chamber for these shells—firing them in a 2-3/4-inch chamber will cause serious damage. Review your gun's specifications before use.

What game is #4 shot best suited for?

The #4 shot size in Hevi-XII is a popular choice for upland birds, pheasants, ducks, and similar game where penetration and range are important factors. Your specific use should match the legal regulations and hunting seasons in your area and the ethical guidelines for your intended game.
