“hevi shot”

As feral hog hunting has surged in popularity across the country, ammunition manufacturers have responded with a number of “hog-specific” loads designed to penetrate better and bring down stout, wild swine. Most ammo makers have concentrated on rifle loads, but among the newest offerings are the Hog Wild shotshells by Hevi-Shot, a company best known for non-lead waterfowl loads.

Hevi-Shot has launched a band new line of shotshells, termed Hevi-Steel Upland. The two new high-velocity, 12-gauge dove and quail loads feature precision steel pellets and a unique Hevi-Shot wad designed to produce exceptionally tight patterns.
