“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 adds a new load to its HEVI-Hammer Waterfowl shotshell lineup. 

With a goal of simplifying its offerings for the hunting market, HEVI-Shot has revamped its considerable product line for 2022. But don’t worry, it still offers a wide variety of arguably the best non-toxic shotshell loads available for just about any hunt​.

Hevi-Shot’s original 12 density Tungsten revolutionized waterfowl ammunition. Now, hunters can get this legendary product in affordable 25-round boxes with the company’s new Hevi-XII tungsten waterfowl loads.

Hevi-Shot's new Hevi-Hammer Dove loads feature 15 percent high-density bismuth and 85 percent precision steel pellets, delivering nearly 50 percent more downrange energy than loads consisting of all steel at 40 yards.

Hevi-Shot's new Hevi-Hammer Upland loads feature 15 percent high-density bismuth and 85 percent precision steel pellets, delivering nearly 50 percent more downrange energy than loads consisting of all steel at 40 yards.

HEVI-Shot has expanded its shotshell line to include its 12 g/cc tungsten shot in .410-bore. This shot is over 50 percent more dense than traditional steel shot, making the HEVI-XII a logical choice for those who like to hunt waterfowl with the sub-gauge shotguns.

Hevi-X sits right at a sweet spot where performance and price meet to offer the average waterfowl hunter a premium shell he can afford to shoot.

The new HEVI-Metal Xtreme shotshells use a blend of 30 percent tungsten and 70 percent precision steel along with the proven FliteControl Flex wad for a deadly load that is every bit as capable of clean kills as the original.
