Come on baby. Give me some tung … tungsten, that is. You know I like it … dense.
Why does it matter if tungsten is 54% more dense than steel (in addition to being nontoxic)? Because that means it packs just as much punch into a considerably smaller shot pellet. That means you can hunt waterfowl using smaller shot. That means tungsten lets you fire a much denser pattern that puts more holes through the bird. And that means a higher chance at total success in the wetlands.
Hevi-XII is named after tungsten’s density in grams per cubic centimeters. Inside this 20 Gauge shell are one hundred fifty-nine 12 g/cc #4 shot pellets, each of which hits with around the same force as a 7.8 g/cc #1 steel pellet (assuming equal velocity). But because #4 shot is 0.03” narrower in diameter, this shell reliably pokes 28% more holes into the waterfowl.
In short, it ain’t no gimmick. Tungsten waterfowl ammo is undeniably more effective. Its only shortcoming? Well, tungsten ain’t exactly a bargain bin metal, as you may already have noticed from this ammo’s price tag.
