Default RE: Duck load

RedAllison YOU ARE WRONG
Hevi shot and Hevi steel are not the same .
Hevi steel is steel with tungsten add to make the pellets heavyer
This is so that the pellets will retain higher velosity than steel shot
The density of steel is about 7.8 g/cc. HEVI-SHOT® is about 12 g/cc. Hevi steel is about 1/2 way in between.
Hevi shot has always sold shells under their own name , some are loaded by Remington and some are loaded by Polywad>
The agreement that Hevishot signed with REM. is that they will not let anyone else load and market Hevi shot loads other than Hevi shot IMO
