Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes the HEVI-Shot Magnum Blend Turkey load unique?

A: The HEVI-Shot Magnum Blend Turkey load is unique because it combines three shot sizes (#5, #6, and #7) in a single shell. This blend creates a dense pattern with increased pellet count, providing a wider effective range and improved lethality for turkey hunting.

Q: What is the shot material used in this ammunition?

A: This ammunition uses HEVI-Shot's proprietary tungsten-based alloy, which has a density of 12 g/cc. This is significantly denser than lead (11.3 g/cc) and steel (7.8 g/cc), allowing for better energy retention and penetration at longer ranges.

Q: What is the effective range of this turkey load?

A: The HEVI-Shot Magnum Blend Turkey load is designed to be effective out to 66 yards. The combination of dense tungsten-alloy shot and the triple shot size blend contributes to this extended effective range.

Q: What is the muzzle velocity of this load?

A: The muzzle velocity of this load is 1200 feet per second (fps).

Q: Is this ammunition safe to use in all 12 gauge shotguns?

A: While this ammunition is designed for 12 gauge shotguns with 3.5" chambers, it's important to note that not all 12 gauge shotguns can handle 3.5" shells. Always check your shotgun's specifications before using this ammunition. Additionally, due to its high payload (2 1/4 oz) and velocity, it may produce significant recoil.
