FAQs:
1. What makes Hevi-XII better than steel shot?
The key difference is the density. Hevi-XII has a density of 12 g/cc, while steel is only 7.8 g/cc. This means Hevi-XII hits harder, flies straighter, and penetrates deeper. It maintains more energy at greater distances, allowing for kills at longer ranges where steel would fail.
2. Is Hevi-XII legal for waterfowl hunting?
Yes, Hevi-XII is made from tungsten, a non-toxic material, making it fully compliant with waterfowl hunting regulations in the U.S. and other regions where lead is banned.
3. What can I hunt with #4 shot?
#4 shot is ideal for ducks, teal, coots, and other small-to-medium waterfowl. The tungsten material allows for clean, ethical kills with fewer pellets, minimizing meat damage.
4. Can I use this ammo in semi-automatic shotguns?
Yes, the Hevi-XII 20-gauge 3″ shell is fully compatible with both pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns. Its clean-burning powder and smooth cycling design make it perfect for semi-autos.
5. Is this ammo sold in bulk?
Yes, it’s available in boxes of 25 rounds or larger bulk packs, which are more economical for frequent hunters.
