Hevi-Shot Hevi-Hammer Upland 12ga 2.75" #3 Shot

Hevi-Hammer Upland: Bismuth-Enhanced Steel for Maximum Effectiveness

Hevi-Shot's Hevi-Hammer represents a thoughtful advancement in nontoxic shotshell design. This load combines two complementary materials in a single payload: a leading layer of high-density bismuth backed by precision steel shot.

Design and Construction

The Bismuth Advantage

• 15% of the payload consists of high-density Hevi-Bismuth alloy
• Cast and alloyed in Sweet Home, Oregon
• Bismuth pellets match the steel shot size for consistent ballistics
• At 9.6 g/cc density, bismuth delivers nearly 39% more power than steel at 40 yards

The Steel Foundation

• 85% of the payload uses precision steel shot
• Provides consistent patterns and reliable performance
• Works in all modern shotguns rated for steel shot

Performance Characteristics

The layered construction creates a synergistic effect. The bismuth's superior density and energy retention at distance means the pellets that reach your target pack significantly more punch than conventional steel loads. Meanwhile, the steel layer ensures pattern density and consistency across the effective range.

Ideal Applications

Hevi-Hammer Upland is purpose-built for hunters in areas where nontoxic shot is mandated or preferred. Whether you're pursuing pheasants, quail, or other upland game, this load delivers the knockdown power and pattern density serious hunters demand.
