Hevi-Shot Hs53202 Hevi-Xii 20Gauge 3" 1 1/4Oz 2Shot 25Rd Bx

Hevi-Shot Hevi-XII 20-gauge shotshell ammunition delivers tungsten-based performance in a compact 3-inch load, ideal for hunters who want to maximize their 20-gauge's potential without scaling up to a 12-gauge. Each round carries 1 1/4 ounces of Hevi-Shot's proprietary 12 g/cc tungsten pellets—material that's 53.8 percent denser than steel—giving you significantly more downrange energy and lethality at extended ranges. The 2-shot payload packs that density advantage into a premium, nontoxic load designed for serious waterfowl and upland work.

Because tungsten is heavier than steel, you get substantially more pellets in a tighter pattern without bumping up shot size, which means tighter, more lethal coverage at distance. That density also translates to better cold-weather velocity stability, so performance stays consistent whether you're hunting early season or late-season conditions. These loads represent a thoughtful middle ground for 20-gauge shooters who refuse to compromise on effective range and hitting power.

Hevi-Shot Hevi-XII shells come in boxes of 25, making them practical for serious upland and waterfowl hunters who understand that ammunition choice directly impacts ethics and success in the field. If your 20-gauge is your go-to gun, tungsten ammo like this bridges the gap between light recoil and serious ballistic performance—no apology necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hevi-XII 20-gauge ammunition suitable for waterfowl hunting?

Yes. Hevi-Shot Hevi-XII is a 100 percent nontoxic load made with tungsten pellets, meeting nontoxic ammunition requirements for waterfowl hunting. The tungsten pellet density delivers significantly more energy downrange than steel alternatives, which is valuable in waterfowl applications where you need reliable reach and lethality.

How does Hevi-XII ammunition compare to steel shot in a 20-gauge?

Hevi-Shot's tungsten pellets are 53.8 percent denser than steel. That density means more pellets in a tighter pattern and substantially more energy at distance. You can drop shot sizes and still achieve greater lethality than you would with comparable steel loads, plus you get better cold-weather velocity stability.

What is included in the box?

Each box contains 25 rounds of 3-inch, 1 1/4 oz Hevi-XII with 2-shot pellets.

Is Hevi-XII ammunition suitable for upland hunting?

Yes. The tungsten pellet construction and tighter pattern make these loads suitable for upland hunting applications where extended effective range and pattern density are advantages.
