HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hammer Upland is a 12 gauge upland shotshell designed to deliver hard-hitting performance in areas where nontoxic shot is required or preferred. Each 2.75" round carries 1 1/4 oz of shot in a strategically layered load: a 15-percent HEVI-Bismuth payload up front, backed by an 85-percent steel foundation. This hybrid approach gives you the ballistic advantage of bismuth's density without the cost of a pure bismuth load, making it a smart choice for hunters who need effective nontoxic ammunition without compromise.
The engineering here is straightforward but effective. HEVI-Bismuth, manufactured in Sweet Home, Oregon, delivers roughly 39 percent more power than steel at 40 yards—a meaningful advantage when you're working birds in open or brushy upland cover. That density translates to better downrange energy and tighter patterns, so your shot string reaches farther and hits harder when it counts. The #3 shot size is the versatile middle ground for most upland game, balancing pattern density with pellet count.
If you hunt in waterfowl zones, lead-sensitive areas, or just prefer nontoxic loads for your upland work, HEVI-Hammer Upland offers a straightforward path to effective shooting. You get the pattern improvements and payload density that matter, without paying full-price bismuth or settling for steel alone. Twenty-five rounds per box means you've got enough for a solid day afield or a range session to dial in your gun.
| Gauge | 12 |
| Shell Length | 2.75" |
| Shot Weight | 1 1/4 oz |
| Shot Size | #3 |
| Shot Type | Steel/HEVI-Bismuth blend |
| Rounds per Box | 25 |
| Manufacturer | HEVI-Shot |
This is a nontoxic load, so it's legal in areas that mandate nontoxic shot. That includes many waterfowl zones and sensitive habitat areas. Always check local regulations before hunting, but if you're in a nontoxic-only zone or prefer to shoot nontoxic for environmental reasons, this round meets that requirement.
By layering 15% HEVI-Bismuth over an 85% steel base, HEVI-Hammer Upland gives you bismuth's density advantage—roughly 39% more power than steel at 40 yards—without the full cost of a pure bismuth load. It's a practical middle ground: more effective than steel alone, more affordable than all-bismuth.
The #3 shot size is a versatile choice for most upland birds. It balances pellet count for pattern density with enough individual pellet energy to be effective on pheasants, grouse, quail, and similar game at typical hunting distances.
Each box contains 25 rounds, giving you a standard box size for a full day of hunting or plenty for patterning and practice.
