HEVI-Shot HEVI-Teal Waterfowl 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/8 oz #6 Shot - 25 Rounds Per Box

HEVI-Shot HEVI-Teal is a purpose-built waterfowl load designed for hunters who target teal and other small ducks over decoys and in tight spaces. Built on a 12 gauge 2.75" hull with 1 1/8 oz of #6 shot, this ammunition delivers the high pellet count and open pattern that makes close-range waterfowl hunting effective. The smaller shot size groups predictably at typical duck-hunting distances while maintaining enough pellets downrange to cleanly take birds without excessive pattern degradation—a real advantage when you're working birds into decoys or hunting shallow marsh where shots come fast.

What sets HEVI-Teal apart is shot density: at 7.8 g/cc, these loads pack considerably more mass per volume than standard steel, so you get denser patterns and harder-hitting pellets without upsizing to bigger shot. That density matters on small, fast-moving ducks where penetration and margin of error count. Whether you're hunting public-land ponds, timber, or private marshes early in the season, HEVI-Teal cycles reliably through modern semi-auto and pump shotguns and delivers consistent results in real-world hunting conditions.

Each box contains 25 rounds, enough for a solid morning on the water or a session patterning your gun before season. If you shoot teal regularly or want a load specifically engineered for smaller ducks instead of settling for all-purpose goose loads, HEVI-Teal is worth trying.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will HEVI-Teal work in my standard 12 gauge duck gun?

Yes. These are standard 2.75" shells that cycle through pump and semi-auto shotguns designed for duck loads. Always check your owner's manual and confirm your gun accepts standard duck ammunition.

What's the difference between #6 shot and larger sizes for waterfowl?

Smaller shot like #6 produces higher pellet counts and more open patterns, making it ideal for close-range hunting of teal and other small ducks. Larger shot is typically reserved for geese or longer-distance shooting where fewer, heavier pellets penetrate better.

How does HEVI-Shot density compare to steel?

HEVI-Teal's 7.8 g/cc density is significantly denser than steel, meaning more mass in the same payload. This delivers denser patterns and harder-hitting pellets, giving you better effectiveness on birds without increasing shot size.

Is this load suitable for other duck species or just teal?

HEVI-Teal is engineered for teal and other small ducks hunted at typical decoy range. For larger waterfowl like mallards or geese, hunters typically step up to larger shot sizes.
