HEVI-Shot HEVI-XII Waterfowl 20 Gauge ammunition delivers exceptional performance for serious waterfowl hunters. These 3-inch shells are loaded with 7/8 oz of #4 tungsten shot, providing superior density and lethality compared to steel. With a muzzle velocity of 1500 fps, these shells offer flat trajectories and hard-hitting power at extended ranges. The tungsten composition allows hunters to use three shot sizes smaller than steel for the same effectiveness, resulting in 28% more pellets on target. This leads to more kills, fewer cripples, and better hunting stories. HEVI-XII ammunition is designed to maximize your success in the field while carrying less weight.
