HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hammer Upland is a nontoxic shotgun load built for upland hunters who want real terminal performance without the lead. This 12-gauge 2.75" load pairs a 15-percent bismuth layer with a steel shot foundation—a smart engineering approach that delivers more lethal energy on game while meeting nontoxic mandates in sensitive hunting areas. If you're chasing pheasant, quail, or grouse where nontoxic ammunition is required or preferred, this load gives you the confidence to hunt without compromise.
The bismuth component is the key: HEVI-Bismuth pellets are alloyed and cast in Sweet Home, Oregon, and pack roughly 39 percent more downrange power than comparable steel shot at 40 yards. By layering that heavier bismuth over an 85-percent steel payload in a 1 1/4 oz charge, HEVI-Shot has created a load that tightens your patterns and hits harder in the zones where it matters most. You get the reliability of proven steel technology plus the energy boost that nontoxic upland hunting demands.
Each box contains 25 rounds of #5 shot, the classic upland bird size that balances pellet count with penetration. Whether you're hunting public land where steel is mandated or private ground where you simply prefer to avoid lead, HEVI-Hammer Upland lets you bring the same terminal authority to your gun that traditional loads did—just with a clear conscience and a full game vest.
| Gauge | 12 |
| Shell Length | 2.75" |
| Shot Weight | 1 1/4 oz |
| Shot Size | #5 |
| Shot Type | Steel with HEVI-Bismuth layer |
| Rounds per Box | 25 |
HEVI-Hammer Upland is nontoxic-compliant and legal for use in areas that mandate nontoxic ammunition—such as certain public lands, waterfowl refuges, and California's nontoxic shot zones. Check your local hunting regulations to confirm the load is approved for your specific hunting area.
The bismuth layer in this load delivers approximately 39 percent more power downrange at 40 yards than standard steel shot. By combining bismuth's higher density with steel's proven track record, HEVI-Hammer Upland improves terminal energy and pattern density without the cost or logistics of pure bismuth loads.
#5 shot is a classic upland size that works well on pheasant, quail, and grouse. It provides a good balance of pellet count for pattern density and adequate penetration for clean kills at typical upland ranges.
Each box contains 25 rounds of 12-gauge 2.75" shells loaded with 1 1/4 oz of steel-bismuth shot.
