HEVI-Shot’s New HEVI-Hammer 12-Gauge BB Load Now Shipping

HEVI-Shot is now shipping a new 12-gauge 3-inch option in BB shot within its HEVI-Hammer waterfowl ammunition line. This lineup of loads includes a variety of BB-, 2- and 3-shot offerings in both 25-count and 100-count pack sizes. The newest option is the Hevi-Hammer, 12 Gauge, BB shot, 3-inch, 1 1/4-ounce, 1,500 fps, and is currently available at retailers nationwide.

“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% 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.
