The HEVI-XII 28 Gauge 3" 1 oz #6 Tungsten Shot Shells HS52816 deliver premium high-density tungsten performance in the popular 28 gauge platform. Manufactured by HEVI-Shot, these advanced non-toxic shotshells combine a 3-inch hull with a full 1-ounce payload of #6 tungsten shot, offering exceptional pattern density and downrange energy. Designed for hunters who want the light recoil and fast handling of a 28 gauge without sacrificing terminal performance, the HEVI-XII #6 load is an outstanding choice for a wide variety of upland game and small waterfowl.
Why Choose HEVI-XII 28 Gauge #6 Tungsten Shells?
The 28 gauge has earned a loyal following among hunters who value its light weight, fast swing, and low recoil. However, traditional steel loads in this gauge often fall short in pattern density and penetration at longer ranges. HEVI-XII changes the game by utilizing high-density tungsten shot that is approximately 30% denser than steel. This allows the smaller #6 pellets to carry more energy farther downrange while producing extremely dense patterns. The result is a 28 gauge load that performs like a much larger gauge, giving hunters cleaner kills on fast-flushing birds and better performance in windy conditions.

Performance and Build Quality
The HEVI-XII 28 Gauge 3" 1 oz #6 Tungsten shells are engineered to maximize the effectiveness of the 28 gauge platform. The #6 shot size is ideal for a variety of game, including doves, quail, snipe, woodcock, and smaller ducks such as teal. Because tungsten is much denser than steel, these smaller pellets maintain lethal energy at distances where steel loads begin to lose effectiveness. Hunters report tighter patterns and more consistent kills at extended ranges compared to conventional steel ammunition. HEVI-Shot uses premium components, including high-quality hulls, reliable primers, and clean-burning powder, to ensure consistent velocities and dependable performance in all weather conditions. The combination of high pellet count from the #6 shot and the density of tungsten creates devastating pattern density without excessive recoil.
