Hevishot Hevi-XII 410 Gauge 3" 5 Shot 0.7oz 25/Box

The HEVI-Shot Hevi-XII 410 gauge is a tungsten-alloy shotshell built for hunters who refuse to compromise on performance with smaller gauges. Loaded with HEVI-Shot's original 12 g/cc tungsten pellets—53.8 percent denser than steel—these 3-inch shells deliver the downrange energy and pattern density that make a 410 practical for waterfowl and upland work. At 1250 feet per second, Hevi-XII loads push tungsten's inherent advantages: denser pellets that penetrate harder and hold velocity longer, letting you shoot smaller shot sizes without sacrificing lethality. If you've been limited by 410 ballistics or live where nontoxic ammunition is required, this is the load that makes the gauge genuinely viable.

The math is straightforward: HEVI-Shot tungsten delivers roughly 28 percent more pellets downrange in a tighter pattern than steel loads of the same shot size, and because tungsten's density lets you drop three shot sizes for equal killing power, you gain both energy and pattern density simultaneously. That combination changes how you hunt a 410. Cold-weather performance stays consistent where lead-substitute shells sometimes lag. Each box of 25 runs nontoxic, meeting waterfowl regulations nationwide.

These shells are purpose-built for hunters serious about wringing maximum effectiveness from a compact gauge. Whether you're hunting tighter cover where a 410 shines or simply prefer the mild recoil and handling of a smaller bore, Hevi-XII gives you ballistics that match your skill rather than your gun's size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hevi-XII nontoxic and legal for waterfowl?

Yes. These loads are 100 percent nontoxic, meeting federal and state waterfowl regulations wherever nontoxic shot is required.

How does tungsten compare to steel in a 410?

HEVI-Shot's tungsten is 53.8 percent denser than steel, which means each pellet carries more energy downrange and penetrates harder. This density advantage lets you use smaller shot sizes for the same lethality while actually putting more pellets on target in a tighter pattern—a significant advantage in a small-gauge platform like the 410.

What's the velocity of these shells?

Hevi-XII 410 3-inch loads chrono at 1250 feet per second, delivering consistent downrange performance even in cold weather.

What's the shot size and weight?

These are loaded with #7 shot at 0.7 oz per shell, a configuration that balances pellet count and energy for the small-bore platform.
