Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes HEVI-Shot HEVI-XII 20 Gauge ammunition unique?

A: HEVI-Shot HEVI-XII 20 Gauge ammunition is unique due to its tungsten-based shot, which is denser than lead. This allows for improved downrange energy and tighter patterns. The 7/8 oz payload of #6 shot provides excellent performance for waterfowl hunting, while the 3" shell length offers increased powder capacity for higher velocities.

Q: What is the muzzle velocity of this ammunition?

A: The muzzle velocity of the HEVI-Shot HEVI-XII 20 Gauge 3" 7/8 oz #6 Shot is 1500 fps (feet per second). This high velocity contributes to flatter trajectories and increased effectiveness at longer ranges.

Q: How many rounds come in a box and case?

A: Each box of HEVI-Shot HEVI-XII 20 Gauge ammunition contains 25 rounds. A full case consists of 10 boxes, totaling 250 rounds per case.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for waterfowl hunting?

A: Yes, this ammunition is specifically designed for waterfowl hunting. The tungsten-based shot is non-toxic and compliant with waterfowl hunting regulations. The #6 shot size is effective for ducks and smaller geese, while the high velocity and dense shot material provide excellent performance at typical waterfowl hunting ranges.

Q: Can this ammunition be used in all 20-gauge shotguns?

A: While this ammunition is designed for 20 gauge shotguns, it's important to note that it's a 3" shell. It should only be used in shotguns chambered for 3" shells. Always check your shotgun's specifications to ensure it can safely handle 3" shells before using this ammunition.

Q: How does the recoil of this ammunition compare to standard 20 gauge loads?

A: Due to its high velocity (1500 fps) and 3" shell length, this ammunition may produce more recoil than standard 20 gauge loads. However, the lighter 7/8 oz payload helps mitigate some of the recoil. Shooters should be prepared for moderately increased felt recoil compared to lighter field loads.
