HEVI-Shot 12 Gauge (part no. HS53304) ammunition loads a 3 inch shell with 1 1/4 oz of tungsten shot, built for waterfowl hunters working decoys and open water. HEVI-Shot pioneered dense tungsten shotshell loads that hit harder and pattern tighter than lead or steel at the same shot size. At roughly 12 grams per cubic centimeter, this tungsten alloy shot is denser than lead or standard tungsten blends, so smaller shot sizes still carry lethal energy at extended range. Loaded 25 to a box in this shotgun shells lineup, it is built to pattern consistently through a standard choke without any special tuning. For shooters in the shotgun shells lineup who want a confirmed pattern, this is a dependable choice.
