HEVI-Shot designed these shells to handle the pressure of upland hunting where shots matter and birds don't come easy. The HEVI-Hammer Upland line combines the proven density advantage of bismuth with the pattern consistency of steel, giving you a load that performs in real field conditions instead of just on paper.
The design is straightforward but effective: 15% of the payload is high-density HEVI-Bismuth layered directly over 85% precision steel. That bismuth layer does the heavy lifting, packing nearly 50% more downrange energy than pure steel at 40 yards. The steel underneath keeps patterns tight while helping keep costs reasonable. It's a balanced approach that doesn't ask you to commit entirely to one material or the other.
These 2-3/4" shells launch at 1350 feet per second with a 1-1/4 ounce payload of #5 shot. That combination works across a range of upland birds and hunting distances. The #5 shot size gives you plenty of pellets for tighter patterns while maintaining enough energy to get the job done. You're getting shells that were specifically tuned for the walking, flushing, and snap-shooting scenarios that define upland hunting, not generic nontoxic loads repurposed from a waterfowl line.
Because the bismuth is denser, you can shoot the same shot size and get more effective range than you'd get from steel-only loads. That means when a rooster flushes at unexpected distances or a bird holds and stretches the shot, you've still got the energy behind it. The flaxseed spacer and premium hull construction are designed for reliability across different shotguns, and the higher brisance primers perform even in cold weather conditions.
The HEVI-Bismuth layer delivers nearly 50% more downrange power than pure steel at 40 yards. This means you get extended effective range and better pattern retention at longer distances, which is critical when roosters flush wild or birds hold longer than expected. The combination gives you the pattern density of steel with the penetration advantage of bismuth.
Yes, HEVI-Hammer Upland shells are safe for all shotguns rated for steel shot, including modern semi-autos and traditional pumps. The premium hull construction and thick base wad are designed for reliable function across different firearm actions.
These shells are specifically designed for upland hunting and work effectively on pheasants, grouse, quail, and similar birds. The #5 shot size provides a good balance of pellet count and energy for upland game at typical hunting distances. They're ideal for areas requiring or preferring nontoxic ammunition.
The high-density bismuth in front creates a tighter, more consistent pattern by maintaining velocity better than steel alone. This density advantage means the bismuth pellets stay together longer downrange, which translates to more consistent hits when you need them most in the field.
