Frequently asked questions
What is Hevi-Shot known for?
Hevi-Shot is best known for developing non-toxic, heavier-than-lead shotgun ammo using tungsten, bismuth, and steel blends. Their loads provide high-density shot for superior patterning and energy transfer, especially in hunting environments where lead is restricted.
How does Hevi-Shot compare to steel shot?
Hevi-Shot significantly outperforms traditional steel. Tungsten-based shot carries more energy and maintains velocity better, resulting in deeper penetration, cleaner kills, and fewer crippled birds—even at extended distances.
Is Hevi-Shot suitable for all shotguns?
Yes, but always check your shotgun’s choke and barrel specifications. Hevi-Shot is safe in most modern shotguns rated for steel shot, though tight chokes and older guns may require special consideration.
What hunting applications is Hevi-Shot best for?
Hevi-Shot is ideal for waterfowl, upland game, and turkey hunting. Products like Hevi-XII and Hevi-Hammer are designed for various distances and bird sizes, offering ethical, lethal results in the field.
Is Hevi-Shot non-toxic?
Yes. All Hevi-Shot products are non-toxic and legal for use in waterfowl hunting nationwide. They provide an environmentally safe alternative to lead without compromising performance.
Where is Hevi-Shot ammo made?
Hevi-Shot is manufactured in the USA and adheres to strict quality standards. Each load is engineered to deliver tight spreads, lethal penetration, and clean combustion across a wide range of hunting conditions.
