The Hevi-Shot .410 3" 1/2 oz #5 Shot (HS54115) is a premium non-toxic shotshell that brings high-performance tungsten technology to the .410 bore platform. Loaded with a 1/2-ounce payload of #5 Hevi-Shot tungsten pellets, this 3-inch shell delivers significantly better downrange energy and pattern density than traditional lead or steel loads. Hevi-Shot’s high-density tungsten alloy allows the pellets to maintain velocity and lethal energy much farther than conventional shot, making the HS54115 an outstanding choice for small game, upland birds, and turkey hunting with .410 shotguns.
High-Density Tungsten Performance
Hevi-Shot is manufactured from a proprietary tungsten alloy that is approximately 10% denser than lead. This increased density gives the pellets superior ballistic performance, allowing them to retain energy and penetrate deeper at longer ranges. The 1/2 oz of #5 shot in the HS54115 provides an excellent balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy, resulting in tight, consistent patterns with lethal knockdown power. This makes the load highly effective for both small game and larger birds like turkey when using a .410 platform.
The Hevi-Shot HS54115 .410 3" 1/2 oz #5 delivers superior downrange performance thanks to high-density tungsten shot, making it one of the most effective non-toxic loads available in .410 bore.
Optimized for .410 Bore Hunting
The .410 bore is popular among hunters who want a lightweight, low-recoil shotgun that is easy to carry during long days in the field. The HS54115 maximizes the performance of the .410 by using a 3-inch shell and a full 1/2 oz payload of dense tungsten shot. This combination provides significantly better terminal performance than standard .410 loads, making it suitable for a wider range of game. Many hunters appreciate the .410’s light weight and reduced recoil, especially when introducing younger shooters or when hunting in thick cover where maneuverability is important.
Excellent for Small Game and Upland Birds
The #5 shot size in this load is well-suited for a variety of small game and upland birds. It offers enough pellet energy for clean kills on squirrels, rabbits, and doves while providing good pattern density for fast-moving targets like quail and grouse. Because Hevi-Shot is non-toxic, the HS54115 is also an excellent option for hunting over wetlands or in areas where lead shot is restricted. The dense tungsten pellets maintain their shape and energy better than steel, resulting in cleaner harvests and fewer wounded birds.
3-Inch Shell Advantage in .410
The 3-inch shell length allows for a heavier payload than standard 2.5-inch .410 shells. With a full 1/2 oz of #5 tungsten shot, the HS54115 gives hunters more pellets in the pattern without sacrificing velocity. This increased payload makes the .410 more effective for turkey hunting and larger small game while still maintaining the light recoil that makes the gauge so popular. The load is designed to perform reliably across a wide range of .410 shotguns, including single-shots, pumps, and semi-automatics.
