HEVI-Shot will release 35 new shotgun loads in 2025, introducing two new lines: HEVI-Hitter with tungsten-steel blends for improved lethality, and HEVI-Bismuth Turkey for enhanced energy in turkey hunting. Additional offerings will expand existing lines such as HEVI-Hammer and HEVI-Steel, catering to various hunting needs and gauges.
HEVI-Shot states “HEVI-Shot is proud to announce 35 new shotgun loads to be released in 2025, including two entirely new product lines: HEVI-Hitter and HEVI-Bismuth Turkey. New load offerings will also be added to the existing HEVI-Hammer, HEVI-Metal Longer Range, HEVI-Steel, HEVI-XII, Magnum Blend, HEVI-18, and more.
The new HEVI-Hitter product line comprises 11 offerings in 12, 16, 20 and 28 gauge.
It devotes 20 percent of its payload to 12 g/cc tungsten and layers it over 80 percent steel shot, balancing the sheer power of tungsten with the patterning and practicality of steel to deliver better lethality on ducks and geese. Due to both types of pellets being the same shot size, the tungsten layer hits 54-percent harder in terms of kinetic energy and momentum delivering exceptional impact performance.
The new HEVI-Bismuth Turkey product line comprises two 3-inch 12- and 20-gauge offerings. With a blend of 4 and 5 shot made with 9.6 g/cc HEVI-Bismuth, turkey hunters get blistering speed and 22 percent more energy compared to steel.
Fourteen new product line additions for waterfowl hunters include a new loading of HEVI-Hammer in 12-gauge, 3-inch, BB, four new HEVI-Metal Longer Range 16-gauge offerings in BB, 2, 4 and 6 shot, eight new HEVI-Steel additions in 12, 16 and 20 gauge, in both layered and standard payloads, and one new HEVI-XII 2 3/4-inch 20-gauge line extension in 3 shot.
The HEVI-Steel Upland will receive four new 12- and 20-gauge product line extensions in 2 3/4-inch with 3, 5, 6, and 7 shot. These new loads are ideal for larger upland birds like pheasants. HEVI-Steel Upland is pushed faster than competing steel loads, making it easier to connect on hard-flying birds and delivering more energy on impact.
Several additional new loadings will be available for turkey hunters, including two Magnum Blend 28-gauge offerings in 2 3/4- and 3-inch, 5, 6, 7 shot. Plus, there are two 28-gauge 2 3/4-inch new options in 7 and 9 shot. In addition, HEVI-Shot’s HEVI-13 product line will be returning. It comprises of four 3-inch 12- and 20-gauge offerings in 6 and 7 shot. Loaded with HEVI-Shot 12 g/cc tungsten, HEVI-13 offers 20 percent more effective range and energy than lead turkey payloads.”
