HEVI-Shot HEVI-XII Waterfowl 28 gauge shotshell ammunition brings a serious advantage to the marsh: tungsten pellets that hit harder than steel without requiring you to step up to a bigger payload. Each 3-inch shell packs 1 ounce of tungsten shot moving at 1350 fps, delivering the kind of energy and pattern density that turns marginal ducks and geese into clean harvests. If you've been shooting 28 gauge for years and wondered whether you're leaving birds on the water, this round closes that gap.

The engineering here matters. HEVI-XII loads more tungsten pellets downrange than comparable steel loads in the same 28 gauge, 3-inch hull—without the overbore velocities and recoil that make a day in the blind feel like punishment. Six shot size rounds out the pattern for pass shooting and decoying birds at typical ranges, and the 25-round box gives you a solid day's supply for testing the load before committing to a full season.

Tungsten is denser than steel, so you get lethal performance from shot sizes traditionally considered light for waterfowl. That means less spent pellets drifting through the marsh, more decisive kills, and fewer cripples to track or lose. If you're a 28 gauge loyalist who refuses to compromise on terminal performance, or you're exploring the round's potential for the first time, HEVI-XII is worth patterning through your favorite barrel.
