Guest finnlander Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 I have a few simple questions. Hevi-Shot What type of material does it consist of ?? Why the name Hevi-Shot ?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rod Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Re: What is Hevi-Shot Not 100 % sure I think it consists of bismuth/tin. The name comes from the fact that it's heavier than lead. The main benefits of it are better penetration and more energy down range. It also seems to holds its pattern better at longer ranges. Their website should help with more info for you. www.hevishot.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeviShot Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Re: What is Hevi-Shot It is tungsten-nickel-iron.10%heavier than lead.26% greater down range energy.It is more exspensive but it is all I use for turkey hunting.I use the Remington brand.You can see a video on the shell at Remington.com.Winchester has a version also.

Guest Squirrelbuster Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Re: What is Hevi-Shot If you didn't find this out on the previous mentioned web site, I believe that the pellets are tear drop shaped which accounts for the better pattern consistency down range.

HeviShot Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Re: What is Hevi-Shot That is true.They also are not all the same size shot.Most are the same but some are not.I just know they work. They also don't like to be squeezed down a tight choke.The choke I use is .675. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13littleones Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Re: What is Hevi-Shot Hevi-Shot: Its all about energy and they rank at the top.....need to shoot a Choke that will handle Hevi-Shot as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
