HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hammer 12GA 3.5" BB Steel/Bismuth Shotshells

The HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hammer combines steel and bismuth pellets to deliver maximum knockdown power for waterfowl hunting. This 12-gauge ammunition features a unique dual-metal construction that maintains velocity while providing devastating terminal performance on ducks and geese at extended ranges.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional steel-only loads, HEVI-Hammer incorporates bismuth pellets alongside steel to create a hybrid shot pattern with superior energy retention. The bismuth component maintains density advantages over standard steel while the steel pellets provide consistent patterns. This combination delivers 15% more energy at 40 yards compared to conventional steel loads of equal shot size.

Key Features

• Steel and bismuth hybrid pellet construction for enhanced terminal performance
• 1.5-ounce payload of BB shot for maximum pellet count and pattern density
• 3.5-inch magnum hull generates 1,350 fps muzzle velocity
• Non-toxic formulation complies with all federal waterfowl hunting regulations
• Precision-loaded for consistent shot-to-shot performance
• Temperature-stable powder maintains velocity in cold weather conditions
• High-quality hull construction ensures reliable extraction

Field testing demonstrates consistent patterns at ranges exceeding 50 yards, making these shells effective for pass shooting and late-season waterfowl when birds are wary. The BB shot size provides optimal penetration on large ducks and geese while maintaining sufficient pellet count for reliable hits. Cold weather performance remains stable down to sub-freezing temperatures without velocity degradation.
