HEVI-Shot HEVI-XII Waterfowl ammunition delivers exceptional performance for serious waterfowl hunters. These 12 gauge, 3-inch shells are loaded with 1 1/8 oz of #2 tungsten shot, providing superior density and downrange energy. With a muzzle velocity of 1500 fps, these shells offer flat trajectories and devastating terminal performance on ducks and geese at extended ranges. The tungsten shot is 53.8% denser than steel, allowing hunters to use smaller shot sizes for increased pellet counts and improved pattern density. HEVI-XII shells are designed to maximize lethality and minimize crippling losses in challenging waterfowl hunting situations.
