Hevi-Shot Hevi Hammer Upland 20ga 2.75" #3 Shot
Hevi-Shot's innovative Hevi Hammer Upland combines a 15% bismuth layer over 85% steel for enhanced knockdown power. This 20-gauge load delivers nearly 39% more energy than pure steel at 40 yards, ideal for mandated nontoxic upland hunting.
Hevi-Shot Hevi Hammer Upland: Layered Performance for Upland Hunting
The Hevi Hammer Upland represents a thoughtful approach to nontoxic shotshell design. By combining high-density bismuth with precision steel, Hevi-Shot has created a load that delivers genuine performance advantages in the field.
Design and Construction
Layered Payload Architecture
- 15% high-density Hevi-Bismuth leading layer
- 85% precision steel backing layer
- Bismuth and steel pellets matched to identical shot size for consistent ballistics
Material Specifications
- Hevi-Bismuth density: 9.6 g/cc
- Cast and alloyed in Sweet Home, Oregon
- Engineered for improved pattern density
Performance Benefits
The bismuth layer packs nearly 39% more downrange power than steel alone at 40 yards. This translates to denser patterns and more reliable energy transfer on upland game. The layered construction means you get the best of both materials: the pattern density of steel with the knockdown authority of bismuth.
Practical Applications
These shells excel in regions where nontoxic shot is mandated or preferred. Whether you're hunting in sensitive wetland areas or simply choosing to use environmentally responsible ammunition, the Hevi Hammer Upland delivers the performance you'd expect from a premium upland load.
Specifications: 20-gauge, 2.75" shells, 1 ounce payload, #3 shot, 1325 fps velocity, 25 rounds per box
