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% more dense than steel. This allows hunters to use 3 shot sizes smaller than steel for the same lethality, resulting in 28% more pellets on target. The increased density translates to double the downrange energy, providing more kills and fewer cripples at extended ranges.

Q: What are the specifications of this HEVI-XII load?

A: This HEVI-XII load is a 12 gauge, 3-inch shell containing 1 1/4 oz of #6 tungsten shot. It has a muzzle velocity of 1450 fps. Each box contains 25 rounds, and there are 10 boxes per case.

Q: How does the shot size compare to steel loads?

A: Due to the higher density of HEVI-XII tungsten shot, you can use #6 shot in this load to achieve the same lethality as #3 steel shot. This smaller shot size provides more pellets per ounce, increasing your chances of a clean kill at longer distances.

Q: Is this ammunition safe 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 3-inch shells and can handle high-density shot. Always consult your shotgun's manual or a gunsmith if you're unsure about compatibility, especially with older or lighter-built shotguns.

Q: How does the recoil of HEVI-XII compare to steel loads?

A: The recoil of HEVI-XII loads may be slightly more noticeable than standard steel loads due to the higher density of the shot and the 1450 fps velocity. However, the trade-off is significantly improved downrange performance and lethality.

Q: Is this ammunition legal for waterfowl hunting nationwide?

A: Yes, HEVI-XII shotshells are non-toxic and comply with federal regulations for waterfowl hunting. However, always check local and state regulations as some areas may have specific restrictions on shot material or size.
