Hevi-Shot's premium tungsten loads deliver 53.8% more density than steel with doubled downrange energy. These 1 3/8 oz #4 shells hit harder from longer distances with 28% more pellets on target.
Hevi-XII ammunition represents the pinnacle of modern shotgun shell engineering. Loaded with Hevi-Shot's proven 12 g/cc tungsten pellets, these shells deliver a significant advantage over conventional steel loads.
Density and Energy: Tungsten is 53.8 percent denser than steel, which translates directly to retained velocity and energy downrange. This density advantage means your shot pattern maintains lethality at distances where standard loads begin to fade.
Effective Shot Sizing: Because tungsten pellets are so much denser, you can drop three shot sizes and still achieve the same terminal performance. This allows you to use smaller pellets—meaning more of them in each shell.
With 28 percent more pellets on target compared to equivalent steel loads, Hevi-XII shells deliver denser, more reliable patterns. This increased pellet count dramatically improves your odds of connecting with fast-moving game.
These shells are engineered for serious waterfowl and upland hunters who demand maximum performance from every shot.
