HEVI-Shot HEVI-XII 20 Gauge Waterfowl Ammo - 3" 1 1/4 oz, 1350 fps, Tungsten #6 Shot, 25 Rounds

HEVI-Shot HEVI-XII 20 gauge waterfowl ammo delivers non-toxic shot performance engineered for duck and goose hunters who want confidence in their load without compromise. Loaded to 1350 fps with tungsten #6 shot in a 3-inch, 1 1/4 oz payload, HEVI-XII is designed to pattern tighter and retain energy downrange compared to conventional steel alternatives. The tungsten construction gives you denser pellet count in the same payload weight, which matters when you're working birds at distance and need clean, ethical harvests.

Built for the serious waterfowler, this round sits in the middle of the performance curve—heavier than lead (which you can't use for waterfowl), denser than steel, and formulated to deliver knockdown power without the excessive recoil or velocity punishment of some premium loads. Each box contains 25 rounds, enough for a solid week of mornings on the water or a trip to the range to pattern your gun and dial in your lead.

If you're running a 20 gauge and tired of compromising on energy or pattern, HEVI-XII bridges the gap between ballistic effectiveness and a platform you can shoot comfortably all day. The tungsten pellets fly true, and the velocity keeps them working at the distances where waterfowl hunting actually happens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is HEVI-XII legal for waterfowl hunting?

Yes. HEVI-XII uses tungsten shot, which is non-toxic and fully compliant with federal and most state waterfowl regulations. Always verify your local and state hunting regulations before purchasing.

What choke tubes work best with HEVI-XII?

HEVI-Shot recommends checking your shotgun's manual and manufacturer guidelines for choke compatibility with tungsten loads. Tungsten is harder than steel, so some older or tighter chokes may not be suitable. When in doubt, contact your gun manufacturer.

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

The higher density of tungsten means you get more pellets in the same weight, delivering better pattern density and energy at distance compared to steel. You can also use a smaller shot size (like #6 tungsten vs. #4 steel) and maintain similar performance, which reduces pellet deformation and improves patterns.

What's included in a box of HEVI-XII?
