HEVI-Shot HEVI-XII 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/8 oz Tungsten #4 Waterfowl Shot - 25 Rounds/Box

HEVI-Shot HEVI-XII 12 gauge tungsten waterfowl ammunition delivers the density advantage that made tungsten a game-changer for non-toxic shot enthusiasts. Where steel requires larger pellets to reach distant ducks and geese, tungsten's superior mass-per-pellet lets you downsize three shot sizes and still maintain lethality—but with 28% more pellets in the pattern. This 2.75" load carries 1 1/8 oz of #4 tungsten, giving you the pattern density and energy retention that turns ethical, longer-range shots into routine execution rather than lottery tickets.

If you've shot steel for years, HEVI-XII feels like finally getting the tool the job actually needs. Tungsten doesn't require the chamber-crushing velocities that steel demands; it hits hard at distance because it *is* denser. You'll see tighter, more reliable patterns downrange, and you won't be chasing wounded birds into the cattails. The tradeoff is weight—a box of HEVI-XII in your vest is heavier than steel, but that's the physics working in your favor, not against you.

This is ammunition for serious waterfowl hunters who've already made the mental shift from "lead was king" to "tungsten is the non-toxic standard that actually works." Twenty-five rounds per box means you can pattern it, hunt a full day, and still have shells left for the next trip. Whether you're working mallards over decoys or waiting for geese to commit to your spread, HEVI-XII gives you the confidence that your shot placement will translate to birds in the bag.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does tungsten shot compare to steel for waterfowl hunting?

Tungsten is denser than steel, so a smaller tungsten pellet carries the same energy as a larger steel pellet. HEVI-XII lets you use #4 tungsten instead of, say, #1 or BB steel—meaning tighter patterns, more pellets on target, and better performance at distance. The trade-off is added weight in your bag.

Will HEVI-XII work in my standard 12 gauge shotgun?

HEVI-XII is loaded to standard pressure in a 2.75" shell, so it will function in any standard 12 gauge shotgun. Always verify your shotgun is rated for the load you're using by checking your manual or contacting the manufacturer.

What's included in each box?

Each box contains 25 rounds of HEVI-Shot HEVI-XII 12 gauge 2.75" 1 1/8 oz #4 tungsten ammunition.

Is HEVI-XII legal for waterfowl hunting?

Tungsten is a non-toxic shot material and is legal for waterfowl in areas where steel shot is required. Always check your local hunting regulations before purchasing ammunition, as waterfowl shot requirements vary by region and season.
