HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hammer 12 Gauge 3.5" 1.5 oz #2 Waterfowl Shot - 25 Rounds per Box

HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hammer 12 gauge 3.5" shotshell ammunition delivers the hard-hitting performance waterfowl hunters need when steel shot is the legal choice. Loaded with 1.5 oz of #2 shot, this round packs density and energy into every shot, giving you the ballistic advantage of premium steel without sacrificing pattern or penetration. Whether you're hunting ducks, geese, or other waterfowl, HEVI-Hammer gives you confidence that your shot string will reach out and perform when it counts.

Steel shot performs differently than lead—it's faster, it patterns tighter, and it requires ammunition engineered specifically for that behavior. HEVI-Shot has spent decades refining that formula. The #2 shot size strikes the balance most waterfowl hunters prefer: large enough for clean, ethical kills on ducks and geese, yet small enough to deliver consistent patterns at field distances. The 3.5" magnum case means you get maximum shot capacity in a single shell, reducing the number of shots needed and simplifying your load planning.

Each box contains 25 rounds, a standard quantity for serious hunters who want to stock up without the bulk of a full case. Grab a few boxes before your next hunt, and you'll have the foundation of a solid waterfowl season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is HEVI-Hammer safe to shoot in my 12 gauge shotgun?

HEVI-Hammer is a standard 12 gauge steel shot load and is safe to shoot in any 12 gauge shotgun that handles 3.5" shells. Always verify your shotgun is rated for 3.5" ammunition before loading.

What's the difference between #2 shot and other sizes for waterfowl?

#2 shot offers a middle ground for waterfowl hunting—large enough to cleanly take ducks and geese, but small enough to maintain consistent patterns at typical hunting distances. Your choice between #2 and other sizes depends on your target species, range, and local regulations.

Can I use HEVI-Hammer for hunting other game?

HEVI-Hammer is specifically designed and marketed as a waterfowl load. Always check your local hunting regulations to confirm what ammunition types and shot sizes are legal for your intended game.

How many boxes should I buy for a hunting season?

That depends on how often you hunt and how many shots you typically take per outing. A box of 25 gives you a convenient quantity to test the load in your shotgun and carry to the field; many hunters stock multiple boxes to ensure they don't run short during peak season.
