HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hammer 12 Gauge Shotshells

HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hammer 12 Gauge Shotshells | The Ultimate Waterfowl Hunting Ammo

Engineered for Superior Waterfowl Performance

The HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hammer 12 Gauge Shotshells represent a revolutionary advancement in waterfowl ammunition technology. Designed for hunters who refuse to compromise on performance, these shells deliver unmatched knockdown power while meeting all non-toxic shot requirements. By combining premium steel with high-density bismuth, HEVI-Hammer provides the perfect balance of affordability and terminal performance.

Technical Specifications & Innovation

• Advanced Shot Composition

The HEVI Shot HEVI Hammer 12 Gauge Shotshells are engineered for power and precision. Designed for 12 gauge firearms with 3 inch shells, each round features a 1 1/4 ounce optimized shot charge. With a muzzle velocity of 1,500 feet per second, these shells deliver flat trajectories and consistent performance in the field. The shot composition includes an innovative blend of 85 percent steel and 15 percent high density bismuth, combining reach with superior impact. Thanks to bismuth’s 22 percent higher density compared to steel, hunters benefit from enhanced downrange energy. These shotshells are 100 percent non toxic and EPA approved, making them safe and legal for waterfowl hunting in regulated areas.

• Pattern Density Technology

The HEVI Hammer’s innovative layered shot design places the denser bismuth pellets at the front of the payload, ensuring maximum energy transfer upon impact. This proprietary configuration provides up to 50 percent more knockdown power at 40 yards compared to standard steel loads. Shooters can also expect tighter and more consistent patterns, which significantly increase hit probability. Additionally, the increased density of bismuth enhances penetration through feathers and muscle tissue, making each shot more effective in the field. For those interested in high-volume training or target shooting, the Monarch 12 Gauge Wing and Clay Shotshells offer an affordable and reliable option.

Field Proven Performance

Unmatched Terminal Ballistics

Waterfowl hunters consistently report that the HEVI Hammer delivers exceptional performance where it matters most. Many have achieved clean one shot kills on mallards at distances beyond 50 yards. The shells also provide effective stopping power on geese, even when using smaller shot sizes. Thanks to superior energy retention, crippling loss is significantly reduced, making each shot more reliable and humane in the field.

Real-World Hunting Advantages

The HEVI Hammer 12 Gauge Shotshells are well suited for a variety of hunting scenarios. For decoying ducks, number 4 shot provides ideal pattern density for close range shooting. When pass shooting geese, BB shot retains lethal energy even at extended distances. These shells also perform reliably in late season conditions, maintaining consistent results in cold and wet environments. Designed with ethical hunting in mind, they help ensure quick, effective kills to minimize animal suffering.

FAQs

How does HEVI-Hammer compare to tungsten shot?

While not as dense as tungsten, HEVI-Hammer provides 85% of the performance at 50% of the cost, making it the smart choice for value-conscious hunters.

What choke is best for HEVI-Hammer shells?

Modified to improved cylinder chokes work best, as the dense patterns don’t require tight constriction.

Can I use HEVI-Hammer for upland hunting?

Absolutely. While optimized for waterfowl, these shells perform exceptionally well on pheasants and other upland game where non-toxic shot is required.

How does the layered shot design work?

A: The 15% bismuth overlay positions the hardest-hitting pellets at the front of the pattern, ensuring maximum energy transfer to the target.
