Hevishot Hammer Dove 12 Gauge Ammo 3" 1oz #7 Steel Shot - HS29137

Hevishot Hammer Dove 12 Gauge Ammo 3" 1oz #7 Steel Shot - HS29137

The HEVI-Hammer Dove 12 Gauge 3" 1 oz #7 load is designed for upland hunters who want improved pattern density with added downrange energy. This 12 gauge ammo uses a blended payload that layers HEVI-Bismuth pellets over precision steel shot to produce a balanced mix of reach with consistent spread quality. The leading portion of the payload uses a 9.6 g/cc bismuth alloy that delivers nearly 39 percent more power at 40 yards than standard steel. This design enhances pattern strength while giving hunters a versatile option for open fields or mixed-cover environments. The load runs at 1,350 fps with a clean-burning propellant, a corrosion-resistant hull, and a stronger base wad to support reliable cycling. Sold in boxes of 25 with case quantities of 250; case purchases ship free through Target Sports USA.

Features and Specifications:

• Performance Metrics: Rated at 1,350 fps for fast response with steady pattern performance.
• Layered Payload: Payload uses 15 percent HEVI-Bismuth above 85 percent precision steel to improve downrange energy.
• Material Density: HEVI-Bismuth at 9.6 g/cc provides nearly 39 percent more power at 40 yards than steel.
• Pattern Quality: Layered shot design promotes tighter pattern density for upland hunting.
• Construction Details: Corrosion-resistant components support durability with hotter primers for consistent ignition.
• Field Use: Suitable for upland hunts where fast follow-up shots with predictable spread are essential.
• Packaging Options: Available in boxes of 25 or cases of 250; bulk case orders ship free through Target Sports USA.

Deep Dive

Overview

This 12 gauge load is intended for upland hunting where a combination of pattern density with added downrange energy provides an advantage. The heavier leading layer offers increased effectiveness at longer distances while the steel base layer maintains reliable coverage. Shooters who use 12 gauge shotgun hunting gear appreciate the balanced recoil with predictable performance in varied field conditions. This design suits hunters who want efficient patterns without switching to heavier specialty loads.

History and Development

Hevi-Shot created the HEVI-Hammer line to provide a hybrid payload that enhances energy without requiring a full bismuth or tungsten shell. Engineers combined cast HEVI-Bismuth from Sweet Home, Oregon with precision steel to deliver stronger performance at extended ranges. The shell also incorporates cleaner propellant with a reinforced base wad to improve cycling while maintaining consistent ignition.

Common Questions and FAQs

  It is listed at 1,350 fps.
• How is the payload constructed?
  Fifteen percent is HEVI-Bismuth above eighty-five percent precision steel.
• What advantage does HEVI-Bismuth provide?
  Its 9.6 g/cc density delivers nearly 39 percent more power at 40 yards than steel.
• What type of hunting is this designed for?
  It is intended for upland hunting where pattern density matters.
• Are the components corrosion resistant?
  Yes, the shell is built with corrosion-resistant materials.

The 'Round Up'

Perfect Fit for:

• Upland

Why It Stands Out:

HEVI-Hammer Dove 12 Gauge 3" 1 oz #7 delivers upland performance through a layered payload that combines HEVI-Bismuth with precision steel. The shell supports strong pattern density with improved energy at distance, which benefits hunters working open fields. The 1,350-fps velocity keeps the load responsive while retaining manageable recoil. Case quantities include free shipping through Target Sports USA, making this a solid option for those seeking 12 gauge bulk ammo for seasonal hunts.
