About HEVI-Shot:

HEVI-Shot, a brand of Environ-Metal, Inc., was founded in 1999 in Sweet Home, Oregon. The company revolutionized the shotshell industry with its introduction of tungsten-based shot, providing hunters with a high-performance, non-toxic alternative to lead. HEVI-Shot's innovative approach to ammunition design has made it a leader in the waterfowl and upland game hunting markets. The company's manufacturing facilities are located in Sweet Home, Oregon, where they continue to develop and produce their premium shotshell products. HEVI-Shot is known for its commitment to creating ammunition that outperforms traditional steel shot, offering increased lethality and extended effective range. Their proprietary tungsten-iron-nickel alloy, used in many of their products, is denser than lead, allowing for tighter patterns and deeper penetration. This focus on high-density shot materials has earned HEVI-Shot a reputation for producing some of the most effective waterfowl loads on the market. The brand's dedication to innovation extends beyond just shot material. HEVI-Shot has developed unique wad designs, specialized powders, and optimized load recipes to enhance the performance of their ammunition. Their product line includes options for various hunting scenarios, from their original HEVI-Shot tungsten loads to their more recent HEVI-Steel and HEVI-Bismuth offerings, catering to different price points and hunting regulations.
