Hevi-Shot Hevi-Xii Shotshells 28 Ga 3" 1Oz 1350 Fps #4 25/Ct

Hevi-Shot Hevi-XII shotshells in 28 gauge are engineered for waterfowlers and upland hunters who demand premium non-toxic performance without compromising on pattern density or effective range. This 28 ga 3" load delivers 1 oz of #4 shot at 1350 fps, combining tungsten's superior density with shot pellet count that rivals larger gauges. If you've been hesitant about 28 gauge effectiveness, Hevi-XII bridges that gap—you get the reduced recoil and swing of a lighter gauge with the lethality you expect from tungsten ammunition.

Tungsten shot naturally outperforms steel in two critical ways: it's denser, so each pellet carries more energy downrange, and it allows manufacturers to load more pellets into the same payload. With 28% more tungsten pellets reaching your target compared to standard approaches, pattern quality and energy retention improve noticeably, especially on crossing shots and at the edge of effective range. The result is fewer wounded birds and more clean, ethical harvests—which matters whether you're working a duck blind at dawn or hunting late-season roosting birds.

The 28 gauge has earned respect among experienced hunters who value ammunition efficiency and shooting comfort. Hevi-XII makes that case stronger. A 25-round box gives you enough for a solid day afield, and the consistent 1350 fps velocity ensures predictable, repeatable patterns shot to shot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What game is 28 gauge #4 shot best suited for?

#4 tungsten shot in 28 gauge is effective on waterfowl (ducks and geese) and upland game birds. The denser tungsten construction extends effective range compared to steel, making it a solid choice for both disciplines.

Is Hevi-XII ammunition legal for waterfowl hunting?

Yes. Hevi-XII uses tungsten shot, which is non-toxic and compliant with federal waterfowl hunting regulations that prohibit lead ammunition.

How does 28 gauge compare to 12 gauge or 20 gauge?

The 28 gauge delivers lighter recoil and reduced shot charge compared to larger gauges, making it easier and more comfortable to shoot all day. Hevi-XII's tungsten density and increased pellet count help a 28 gauge load perform more like a heavier gauge, narrowing the performance gap while retaining the lighter handling characteristics.

What is included in each box?

Each box contains 25 shells of Hevi-XII 28 ga 3" #4 shot.
