These are solid upland shells if you're hunting where lead isn't an option or you just prefer non-toxic shot. The HEVI-Hammer Upland loads bring a practical approach to non-lead hunting by combining two shot materials instead of relying on one. You get 15 percent of the payload in high-density bismuth layered right over 85 percent precision steel pellets. It sounds like a marketing angle, but it actually works in the field—that leading bismuth edge carries nearly 50 percent more knockdown power than the steel layer at 40 yards.
Straight steel has been the go-to for non-toxic hunting for decades, and it works well enough. But steel is lighter and loses energy faster downrange. Bismuth is denser, holds velocity better, and delivers more punch on target. By putting bismuth in front of the steel charge, HEVI-Shot gets you tighter patterns and more consistent energy out to realistic upland distances without going full bismuth or jumping to tungsten pricing. These shells run 1350 fps and pack 1 3/8 ounces of #3 shot—a good middle ground for pheasants and similar-sized birds.
You'll notice the denser pattern right away if you've been shooting straight steel. The #3 shot size is ideal for medium to large upland game. That combination of denser shot and the higher velocity means birds drop cleaner, especially on those longer, crossing shots that happen when roosters get nervous. Each box has 25 rounds, so you can work patterns or keep a case handy for the season. The shells are non-toxic, making them compliant for any restricted areas and a solid choice if environmental impact matters to you.
The layered design uses 15 percent high-density bismuth over 85 percent steel. That bismuth layer packs nearly 50 percent more knockdown power than steel alone at 40 yards, giving you tighter patterns and more energy downrange without paying full bismuth pricing. You get better performance than straight steel while keeping costs reasonable.
Yes, these are fully non-toxic and compliant for lead-restricted hunting areas. They're a solid choice if you need to follow local regulations or prefer environmentally conscious ammunition for your upland hunting.
The #3 shot size makes these ideal for pheasants and other medium to large upland game birds. The 1 3/8 ounce payload at 1350 fps delivers solid energy and pattern density for roosters and similar-sized birds at typical upland distances.
Full bismuth shells typically cost more and pattern tighter than straight steel, but HEVI-Hammer offers a practical middle ground. You get much of the performance benefit of bismuth with the steel backing providing consistent, reliable patterns at a more reasonable price point than premium full-bismuth options.
