Unlock Superior Performance for Your Dove Hunts with HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hammer 12 Gauge Ammunition

Are you an avid dove hunter searching for ammunition that delivers unparalleled performance, ethical knockdown power, and consistent results? Look no further than HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hammer Dove 12 Gauge 3" 1 oz 7 Shot. This revolutionary shotgun shell is meticulously engineered to provide hunters with a distinct advantage in the field, ensuring cleaner kills and fewer lost birds. If you've ever asked yourself, "What's the best non-toxic ammunition for dove hunting?" or "How can I improve my success rate with fast-flying birds?", HEVI-Hammer offers a compelling answer.

The HEVI-Hammer Advantage: Beyond Standard Steel

At the core of the HEVI-Hammer's exceptional capability is its innovative dual-pellet design. Unlike traditional steel shot or even some bismuth loads, HEVI-Hammer uniquely combines 15% high-density bismuth pellets layered over 85% steel pellets. Both layers utilize the same shot size – #7 in this particular load – creating a seamless and devastatingly effective payload.

But why this specific combination? The smaller, yet mighty, leading edge of bismuth acts as a high-density shockwave. Bismuth is significantly denser than steel, allowing it to retain more energy and penetrate deeper upon impact. When this dense bismuth layer strikes first, it initiates a devastating energy transfer, creating a larger wound channel and superior knockdown power. This translates to nearly 50% more knockdown power than a comparable all-steel layer at 40 yards, a critical distance for many dove hunting scenarios.

This hybrid approach addresses the limitations often found in purely steel shot. While steel is an affordable and widely available non-toxic option, its lighter density can sometimes lead to reduced energy transfer and less effective performance at longer ranges, potentially resulting in crippled birds. By integrating bismuth, HEVI-Shot has managed to overcome this hurdle, offering a premium performance without the full cost of an all-bismuth load.

Designed for the Demands of Upland Game

The HEVI-Hammer Dove 12 Gauge ammunition is specifically tailored for upland game birds, with doves being its primary target. Doves are known for their erratic flight patterns and deceptive speed, making them challenging targets. To consistently bring down these agile birds, hunters need ammunition that combines speed, pattern density, and terminal performance.

With a blazing muzzle velocity of 1350 feet per second (fps), HEVI-Hammer ensures that your shot reaches the target quickly, reducing the amount of lead needed and increasing the likelihood of a successful hit, even on crossing or fast-retreating birds. This high velocity, combined with the dense #7 shot, delivers a consistent and uniform pattern downrange, maximizing the number of pellets on target for lethal hits.

For hunters concerned with ethical harvesting, the enhanced knockdown power of HEVI-Hammer is a significant benefit. A clean, quick kill is paramount for responsible hunting, minimizing suffering and preventing lost game. The bismuth leading edge ensures that even marginal hits often become lethal, converting potential cripples into decisive harvests. This means more birds in the bag and less time spent tracking wounded game.

Key Features that Elevate Your Hunting Experience

• Innovative Dual-Pellet Design: The unique 15% bismuth over 85% steel configuration provides a superior ballistic advantage. This isn't just a mix; it's a strategically engineered layer that maximizes impact energy.
