Are you looking for the ultimate upgrade to your duck hunting experience? Then leave the steel shot behind, and make this the year you recruit the power of tungsten!
Hevi-XII series ammunition is aptly named. The tungsten its shot pellets are made of boasts a towering density of 12.0 g/cc (hence the “XII,” which is the Roman numeral for 12). For comparison, bismuth has a density of 9.6 g/cc, and steel only has a density of 7.8 g/cc.
Here’s the key benefit. A #6 tungsten shot pellet weighs roughly the same as an 18% wider #3 steel one. That’s why this shell doesn’t forfeit any stopping power despite being loaded with around 38% more shot pellets. And what does that mean? A much thicker pattern, which alongside this shell’s hot 1,450 fps muzzle velocity equals true long-range stopping power.
