HEVI-Shot HEVI-Teal 12 Gauge #6 Shot shotshells (part no. HS61226) are built for the fast, low, all-directions shooting that early-season teal hunting demands. Hevishot loads smaller bismuth pellets at a high pellet count, producing open patterns along with more knockdown power and velocity than a standard steel load. It’s engineered specifically for teal and other small, quick waterfowl rather than big geese. These shotgun shells suit early-season waterfowl hunters running a 12-gauge shotgun.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why smaller shot for teal hunting? Smaller #6 pellets give a higher pellet count and more open pattern, useful for teal’s fast, erratic, close-range flight.
Why bismuth instead of steel shot? Bismuth is denser than steel, delivering more knockdown power and velocity at the same shot size and payload weight.
Is this load suited to bigger geese? HEVI-Teal is engineered specifically for teal and similar small, fast waterfowl, not larger geese that call for heavier shot sizes.
