The HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hammer Upland brings real knockdown power to your 20 gauge without the weight. This load pairs a thin leading layer of high-density HEVI-Bismuth over precision steel shot, creating a two-stage energy transfer that hits harder than either material alone. When those denser bismuth pellets strike first, they disrupt vitals and penetrate thick feathers. The steel backing follows through, putting more pellets on target and maintaining energy out to 40 yards plus. The result is tighter patterns and more consistent kills from a lighter gun.
HEVI-Bismuth runs 9.6 grams per cubic centimeter, which is substantially denser than steel at 7.8 g/cc. This density advantage matters in the field. The layered construction means bismuth and steel pellets are the exact same shot size, so you get uniform patterns instead of irregular spreads. At 40 yards, this load delivers nearly 39% more power than straight steel, giving you a real advantage on fast-flushing roosters or longer shots when birds don't cooperate.
These shells are built specifically for regions where lead shot is restricted or prohibited. The bismuth-steel combination meets all nontoxic requirements while delivering better performance than straight steel loads. You're not compromising when you choose this load. The composition is 15% HEVI-Bismuth layered over 85% steel, designed to pattern tight and hit clean from the first shot of the season through the last.
Loads deliver 1325 fps muzzle velocity with reliable, consistent velocities from box to box. The 2.75-inch shell length keeps this load compact and manageable in your shotgun without excessive recoil, making it comfortable to shoot all day. Whether you're hunting pheasant, grouse, or quail over a dog or working cattail patches on your own, this is ammunition built for hunters who expect their gear to perform when conditions get tough.
No. The bismuth portion of this load is softer and more forgiving than steel, making it safer for vintage shotguns and fixed-choke barrels than pure steel shot. Modern wad technology also minimizes impact stress. As always, confirm your shotgun is rated for the shell length you're using.
The combination gives you the best of both. Bismuth hits harder and penetrates deeper upfront, while the steel backing increases pellet count and delivers consistent patterns. This two-stage approach delivers nearly 39% more power than straight steel at 40 yards, while costing less than pure bismuth loads.
Number 3 shot works well for pheasant, roosters, and larger upland birds. If you're hunting smaller game like quail or dove, you might prefer the same load in #5 shot for tighter patterns. Pattern your gun at your expected shooting distance to see what works best in your specific shotgun.
HEVI-Shot loads to strict tolerances, and this load delivers 1325 fps muzzle velocity consistently from shot to shot. Reliable velocities mean more predictable patterns and energy downrange, which matters when you're counting on clean kills in the field.
