The Hevi-Shot .410 3" 1/2 oz #7 Shot (HS54117) is a premium non-toxic shotshell specifically engineered to maximize performance in .410 bore shotguns. Loaded with a 1/2-ounce payload of #7 Hevi-Shot tungsten pellets, this 3-inch shell provides exceptional pattern density and downrange energy. Hevi-Shot’s high-density tungsten alloy allows the smaller #7 pellets to carry more energy than traditional lead or steel shot of the same size, making the HS54117 an outstanding choice for quail, dove, small game, and upland bird hunting where dense patterns are essential.
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 velocity and energy much farther downrange. The #7 shot size in the HS54117 offers a high pellet count, resulting in extremely dense patterns that are ideal for fast-moving targets like quail and doves. Even though the individual pellets are smaller, the tungsten material ensures they maintain lethal energy at typical hunting ranges.
The Hevi-Shot HS54117 .410 3" 1/2 oz #7 delivers dense, consistent patterns thanks to high-density tungsten shot, making it one of the most effective non-toxic loads for small game and upland birds in .410 bore.
Optimized for Small Game and Upland Birds
The #7 shot size is particularly well-suited for smaller and faster game birds. It provides excellent pattern coverage for quail, dove, and other upland species while still delivering sufficient energy for clean harvests. Many .410 shooters prefer #7 shot when targeting smaller birds because the higher pellet count increases the probability of multiple hits. The HS54117 allows hunters to take full advantage of the .410’s light weight and low recoil while achieving performance that rivals larger gauges.
Excellent for .410 Bore Hunting
The .410 bore is favored by hunters who want a lightweight, easy-to-carry shotgun with minimal recoil. The HS54117 enhances the effectiveness of the .410 by combining a 3-inch shell with a full 1/2 oz payload of dense tungsten shot. This load is especially popular among hunters who enjoy the challenge and portability of the .410 platform. It is also a great option for introducing new or younger shooters to the sport due to its reduced recoil compared to larger gauges.
3-Inch Shell Advantage
The 3-inch shell length allows for a heavier 1/2 oz payload in .410 bore, which is difficult to achieve in shorter 2.5-inch shells. This increased shot weight translates to more pellets in the pattern, improving hit probability on small, fast-moving targets. The HS54117 is loaded to deliver reliable performance across a wide range of .410 shotguns, including single-shots, pumps, and semi-automatics.
