Hevi-Shot has added new product options in its Hevi-Steel Waterfowl lineup. The four new layered steel pellet loads, in 12- or 20-gauge, feature two different-sized steel pellets layered in the same shell, with dependable ignition and a unique Hevi-Shot wad to produce tight and reliable patterns.

“We make layered loads to maximize pattern density and increase down-range energy,” said Scott Turner, Hevi-Shot shotshell product line manager. “By layering two different shot sizes, we can tailor steel pellet shotshells to deliver a good balance of power—with the inclusion of the larger shot size—and pattern performance—with the smaller shot size—at a specific price point.”

Features of Hevi-Shot's Hevi-Steel layered shotshells include: precision steel pellets; clean-burning propellant; two layered shot sizes in BB and 2 or 2 and 4 for 12-gauge, and 2 and 4 or 3 and 5 for 20-gauge.
