We like Hevi-shot...It pounds game hard...I do not like the price of it though... My Dad shot 3 turkeys last spring with one Hevi-Shot Turk load...
I heard Remington is not carrying it this year, the licsense
goes back to the original company that created it....Environ....something... so it will be a bit cheaper...
The reason it works so well, is that the shot pellets are not uniform pellets..they look like pieces of slag rock...frayed ends, different sizes,
when the shell is fired, the pellets have better distance and penetration because they are different sizes and weights...
Once out of the gun barrel, the pellets move so that the heavier shot pellets utilize thier different shapes to fly through the air faster and with more penetration....
That combined with the hevi-shot special metal materials, like nickle, make it a winner in the field...
We have tried Bizmuth, tungsten,Kent, ect...nothing compared to Hevi-Shot..
