The name of HEVI-Shot’s HEVI-XII line of ammunition actually nods to what makes it so special. This 12 Gauge waterfowl shell is loaded with nontoxic tungsten shot instead of conventional steel. Tungsten has a density of 12g/cc. That is 53.8% more dense than steel – and even 9% more dense than traditional lead! Because this shell’s #6 shot pellets are so dense, they excel at retaining the in-flight momentum they need to pattern densely, travel farther, and hit their target with more energy on impact. Dense tungsten is also why this shell can make such short work of a mallard with smaller #6 shot pellets. They’re going to put many more holes in a mallard than #3 steel shot could ever manage, however efficiently it might be patterned! HEVI-Shot’s tight-patterning tungsten shot is loaded with a premium wad, clean-burning powder, and water resistant non-corrosive primer. You’ll hate to see this ammo’s premium shot go, but at least you’ll be able to keep its hulls alive at the reloading bench. Made in Sweet Home, Oregon! (That is the name of the town – we are not from Oregon.)
