Finally, a high-performance nontoxic shotgun shell option that shoots as well as bismuth loads at a price that won't blow a hole in your wallet. Hevi-Steel shot has a density of 9 compared with typical steel shot with a density of 7.86, and a muzzle velocity of 1,550 fps for 12 gauge rounds. Its downrange retained energy in ft.-lbs. is nearly twice that of regular steel. That means you get more knock-down power, fewer crippled birds, a denser shot pattern and a better shooting experience than regular steel shot without the high price of other nontoxic shot options. 25 shells per box.
