HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hammer Upland 20 Gauge 2.75" 1 oz Steel Bismuth #5 Shot - 25 Rounds

HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hammer Upland 20 gauge ammunition combines steel and bismuth shot in a single load built for upland hunters who need to use nontoxic rounds. This 2.75" shell packs 1 oz of shot in #5 size, engineered to deliver better downrange energy and pattern density than straight steel—without the lead restrictions. The hybrid design layers a 15-percent bismuth component over an 85-percent steel base, letting you hunt birds in areas where nontoxic shot is required or preferred, without sacrificing effectiveness.

Bismuth naturally carries more striking energy than steel at distance. HEVI-Shot's bismuth alloy—cast in Sweet Home, Oregon—delivers roughly 39 percent more power than steel at 40 yards, which matters when you're shooting at pheasants, grouse, or quail across open fields or brush. The density difference translates to tighter patterns and deeper penetration, giving you a real advantage over single-alloy nontoxic loads. If you hunt upland game regularly in nontoxic zones, this ammunition is designed to keep your success rate up without compromise.

Each box contains 25 rounds, so you'll have enough for a productive morning in the field or to stock up before the season. HEVI-Hammer Upland ammunition is a solid choice for hunters who need to follow local regulations while maintaining confidence in their shooting.
