What is Hevi-metal shot made of?
A: The HEVI-Metal™ shotshell uses large steel shot and ballistically equivalent high-density pellets made from our own patented tungsten alloys. The density of the high-density tungsten pellets varies to match the ballistic performance of each size of steel shot in each of the different shells.
Is Hevi-metal worth the money?
Hevi Shot is worth it for geese. I use it and it works like a charm. For ducks I dont bother due to the cost, but for geese it is worth every penny. I also use it for Turkeys with great results.
What is Hevi Shot Hevi-metal?
Hevi-Shot® HEVI-Metal® Longer Range Shotgun Shells use a blend of 30% high-density bismuth shot, layered over 70% steel shot, which increases range and lethality over standard Hevi-Metal loads. The shot charge is topped with a flaxseed buffer to ensure a consistent, flat crimp.
Is Hevi-shot harder than steel?
Hevi-Shot’s new Hevi-X takes that tack. The original Hevi-Shot was heavier than lead. These pellets are heavier than steel, but lighter than the original.
What is heavy metal shot?
Hevi-Metal is made up of steel pellets and a mix of Hevi-Shot pellets. The pellets are layered for better performance.

Is Hevi shot better than lead?
While its competitors were almost as dense as lead, Hevi Shot was denser (lead weighs 11.2 grams per cubic centimeter; Hevi Shot weights 12 g/cc) giving it exceptional long range reach. Hevi Shot’s density meant could shoot smaller shot slower – with less recoil – and still outperform any steel load on the market.

Why is tungsten Shot so expensive?
Pure tungsten on its own is prohibitively expensive for use in ammunition and is also on the soft side. When mixed with metals like iron through a sintering process, however, it attains a balance of density and hardness that makes it deadlier at longer ranges and also guarantees cleaner kills.
