Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes HEVI-XII shotshells unique for waterfowl hunting?

A: HEVI-XII shotshells are unique due to their 12 g/cc tungsten pellets, which are 53.8% denser than steel. This higher density allows for superior downrange energy, enabling hunters to use smaller shot sizes while maintaining lethality. The #6 shot in this load performs similarly to larger steel shot, providing 28% more pellets on target for improved effectiveness.

Q: How does the performance of HEVI-XII compare to steel shot?

A: HEVI-XII significantly outperforms steel shot due to its higher density. The tungsten pellets in HEVI-XII maintain energy better at longer distances, allowing for effective shots at extended ranges. This 12 gauge load with #6 shot can be as effective as larger steel shot sizes, potentially improving your hit probability and reducing crippling losses in waterfowl hunting.

Q: What is the velocity of these HEVI-XII shotshells?

A: These HEVI-XII shotshells have a muzzle velocity of 1450 fps (feet per second). This high velocity, combined with the dense tungsten pellets, contributes to the shell's excellent downrange performance and energy retention.

Q: How many shells come in a box of HEVI-XII 12 Gauge 2.75" loads?

A: Each box of HEVI-XII 12 Gauge 2.75" loads contains 25 shells. This quantity allows for multiple hunting trips or extended practice sessions.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for all 12 gauge shotguns?

A: While this ammunition is designed for 12 gauge shotguns, it's important to ensure your firearm is rated for high-performance loads. The 2.75" shell length should fit standard 12 gauge chambers, but always consult your shotgun's manual or a gunsmith if you're unsure about compatibility, especially with older or lighter-built shotguns.

Q: What is the shot charge weight of these HEVI-XII shells?

A: The shot charge weight for these HEVI-XII shells is 1.125 oz (ounce). This payload, combined with the dense tungsten material, provides excellent pattern density and knockdown power for waterfowl hunting.
