HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hammer Upland 20 Gauge ammunition delivers superior performance for upland game hunting. This 3-inch shell is loaded with 0.875 oz of #5 shot, combining bismuth and steel pellets for enhanced lethality. The bismuth layer, with its 15% higher density (9.6 g/cc), leads the charge and is followed by steel pellets (7.8 g/cc). This innovative design results in tighter patterns, higher speeds, and increased knockdown power. With a muzzle velocity of 1,325 fps, these shells offer excellent performance for areas where lead is prohibited or for environmentally conscious hunters. The HEVI-Hammer Upland load is specifically engineered to provide optimal results for medium to large upland game birds.
