Benefits of Hevi-XII .410 Bore 3″ 1/2 oz 5 Shot
- Deeper Penetration: Thanks to its tungsten construction, Hevi-XII delivers harder-hitting, deeper-penetrating shot compared to lead or steel.
- Extended Range: Unlike steel shot, which loses power at distance, tungsten retains energy, making it lethal at longer ranges.
- Tight, Consistent Patterns: Hevi-XII’s density and shape retention ensure tighter shot groupings, increasing hit probability.
- Non-Toxic & Eco-Friendly: Made with tungsten to comply with non-toxic shot regulations for waterfowl hunting.
- Versatility: Ideal for waterfowl, upland birds (like pheasants, doves, and grouse), and small game (like rabbits and squirrels).
How It Works
Hevi-XII tungsten shot is 53% denser than steel, which means smaller pellets pack more weight and retain higher kinetic energy downrange. As a result, this #5 shot offers increased impact and lethality at long range. This load delivers a tighter shot pattern than traditional lead or steel, so hunters can hit birds and small game with greater precision.
Applications:
- Waterfowl Hunting: Ideal for ducks and geese, offering effective range and power.
- Upland Bird Hunting: Perfect for pheasants, doves, quail, and grouse.
- Small Game Hunting: Lethal on small animals like rabbits, hares, and squirrels.
FAQs:
1. What makes tungsten shot better than steel or lead?
Tungsten is denser than both lead and steel, offering deeper penetration, longer range effectiveness, and tighter shot patterns. This makes it more effective for hunting, especially in areas where steel shot underperforms.
2. Can I use Hevi-XII .410 Bore for waterfowl hunting?
Yes, the Hevi-XII tungsten shot is non-toxic and waterfowl compliant, making it legal for waterfowl hunting in areas where non-toxic shot is required. Its superior density makes it a great choice for ducks and geese.
3. Is Hevi-XII better than steel shot?
Absolutely. Hevi-XII tungsten shot is 53% denser than steel, meaning it retains more energy over distance. This leads to tighter patterns, deeper penetration, and improved lethality, especially at longer ranges.
4. What game can I hunt with #5 shot?
#5 shot is ideal for hunting ducks, geese, pheasants, grouse, and rabbits, as well as other small to medium-sized game. It strikes a balance between penetration and pellet count, making it a versatile choice for multi-species hunting.
