Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes the HEVI-Shot Magnum Blend Turkey load unique?

A: The HEVI-Shot Magnum Blend Turkey load is unique because it combines three shot sizes (#5, #6, and #7) in a single shell. This creates a 'cone of lethality' effective out to 66 yards. The pellets are made of 12 g/cc density tungsten, which is denser than lead, allowing for smaller shot sizes with the same lethality as larger lead shot.

Q: How many pellets are in each shell?

A: Each 12 gauge 3" shell contains 437 pellets, providing a high pellet count for increased hit probability and effectiveness on turkeys.

Q: What is the muzzle velocity of this ammunition?

A: The muzzle velocity of this HEVI-Shot Magnum Blend Turkey load is 1200 feet per second (fps).

Q: How many shells come in a box and case?

A: Each box contains 5 shells, and there are 10 boxes in a case, for a total of 50 shells per case.

Q: Is this ammunition safe for all 12 gauge shotguns?

A: While this ammunition is designed for 12 gauge shotguns with 3" chambers, it's important to note that not all shotguns are rated for tungsten loads. Always check your shotgun's manual or consult with the manufacturer to ensure it can safely handle tungsten shot before use.

Q: What makes this load effective for turkey hunting?

A: This load is effective for turkey hunting due to its high pellet count, the use of three different shot sizes for optimal pattern density, and the high-density tungsten material. These factors combine to create a lethal pattern at extended ranges, increasing the chances of a clean, ethical harvest.
