“This new HEVI-Hammer 12-gauge load gives hunters more options to match their ammo with their hunt,” said Scott Turner, HEVI-Shot’s Shotshell Product Manager. “By layering our cast HEVI-Bismuth pellets over precision steel, we’re able to boost pattern performance and extend effective range—so you can take home more birds at longer distances.”
HEVI-Hammer blends performance and affordability by combining 15 percent of HEVI-Bismuth—a dense, 9.6 g/cc pellet alloyed and cast in Sweet Home, Oregon—with 85 percent precision steel shot. The resulting payload offers 38 to 41 percent more lethal range than steel alone. The bismuth layer sits atop the shot column for tighter patterns, deeper penetration, and more clean kills, especially in cold-weather conditions.
