Hevi-Shot's tungsten loads for .410 deliver 53.8% more density than steel, doubling downrange energy. Drop three shot sizes while maintaining lethality and placing 28% more pellets on target.
Hevi-XII ammunition represents a significant advancement in .410 shotgun performance. Loaded with Hevi-Shot's proprietary tungsten pellets at 12 g/cc density, these rounds are 53.8 percent denser than traditional steel shot.
Increased Downrange Energy: The density advantage translates directly to doubled energy at distance, allowing you to take birds decisively from ranges where standard .410 loads would fall short.
Flexibility in Shot Selection: Because tungsten delivers such superior performance, you can drop three full shot sizes and still maintain the same lethality. This means using #5 shot where you'd normally need #2—a significant advantage in a small-bore shotgun.
Pattern Density: With 28 percent more pellets on target compared to conventional loads, you're creating denser, more reliable patterns that increase your margin for error in the field.
These loads represent the pinnacle of .410 performance for the serious upland hunter or clay target shooter who demands maximum effectiveness from a small-bore platform.
