HEVI-Shot HEVI-Steel Upland 12 Gauge #7 Shotshells, 25-Round Box

HEVI-Shot HEVI-Steel Upland 12 Gauge shotshells (brand part no. HS61227) push 1 ounce of #7 steel shot to 1350 feet per second, giving upland hunters the extra speed needed to catch dove, quail, and pheasant that flush and run. Environ Metal Inc. built the HEVI-Steel Upland line to outrun competing steel loads, closing the gap on hard-flying birds and delivering more energy on impact. A best-in-class wad and precision steel pellets back up that velocity with dependable ignition and clean-burning propellant shot after shot. For upland hunters who need nontoxic performance without giving up speed, these shotgun shells are built for the flush.
