The new option is a 12-gauge, 1 1/2-ounce, 3 1/2-inch, shot size No. 2 load set at a muzzle velocity of 1,500 feet-per-second (fps). With this new load, HEVI-Shot’s HEVI-Hammer Waterfowl product line now consists of six total options: four 12-gauge and two 20-gauge.
HEVI-Hammer loads consist of layered bismuth pellets (15 percent of the payload) over steel pellets (85 percent). Stacked bismuth (15 percent) over steel (85 percent) payloads deliver more clean kills at longer ranges compared to straight steel payloads HEVI-Bismuth pellets deliver 38 percent more lethal yardage over steel with No. 2 and 3 shots and 41 percent more with No. 4. These design elements give hunters more range with added density, tighter patterns, and improved shot strings.
“Go big or go home,” said HEVI-Shot product manager Scott Turner. “We took our top-selling 3-inch loads in our HEVI-Hammer Waterfowl line and stretched them out to have heavier payloads and blistering velocities. The new 3-1/2-inch load is absolutely devastating on snow geese and other high-flying waterfowl targets.”
HEVI-Hammer is alloyed and loaded in Sweet Home, Oregon, U.S.A. It features all-season reliability, improved cold-weather performance, quality components, a hotter primer, and a clean-burning propellant. It is available in 25-round boxes; MSRP: $43.99.
