Hevi-Shot Hevi Hammer 12 Gauge 3-Inch #3 Shot
Hevi-Shot's Hevi Hammer combines 15% bismuth with steel shot for tighter patterns, higher velocity, and superior knockdown power. Delivers 50% more energy than steel alone at 40 yards.
Hevi-Shot Hevi Hammer: Density Meets Performance
Hevi-Shot's Hevi Hammer represents a smart approach to waterfowl hunting—combining proven steel shot economy with the knockdown power of bismuth. This innovative load layers 15% high-density bismuth pellets over 85% steel shot, creating a payload that delivers results without premium pricing.
What Sets It Apart
The Bismuth Advantage
- Bismuth layer packs nearly 50% more knockdown power than steel alone at 40 yards
- Bismuth pellets are the same shot size as the steel for consistent ballistics
- High-density bismuth (9.6 g/cc) extends effective range and tightens patterns
Performance Specifications
- 12 gauge, 3-inch magnum shells
- 1 1/4 ounce payload
- #3 shot size—ideal for ducks and geese
- 1500 feet per second velocity
- 25 rounds per box
Why Hevi Hammer Works
Density is the foundation of this load's success. The layered bismuth-steel design produces tighter patterns and flatter trajectories than traditional steel shot, giving you a genuine edge in the field. Whether you're working a marsh at dawn or finishing the afternoon flight, Hevi Hammer delivers the knockdown power that converts opportunities into birds in the bag.
This is smart ammunition engineering—proven performance without the premium price tag.
