The HEVI-Shot HS4079 HEVI-18 Blend 12 Gauge 3" 2 1/4oz 7/8/9 Shot is a premium tungsten turkey hunting shotshell engineered for maximum pattern density and lethal performance at extended ranges. This advanced load combines HEVI-Shot’s high-density tungsten technology with a strategic blend of #7, #8, and #9 shot sizes, delivering an optimal balance of pellet count and downrange energy. Designed specifically for serious turkey hunters, the HEVI-18 Blend provides tighter patterns, deeper penetration, and superior knockdown power compared to traditional lead or steel loads.
Why Choose HEVI-Shot HS4079 HEVI-18 Blend?
HEVI-Shot has long been recognized as a leader in high-performance non-toxic shotshells. The HS4079 HEVI-18 Blend takes turkey hunting ammunition to the next level by combining three different shot sizes in one shell. This multi-size shot blend creates a denser, more consistent pattern while maintaining excellent pellet energy. The 2 1/4-ounce payload in a 3-inch shell delivers an extremely high pellet count, increasing the chances of hitting the turkey’s vital head and neck area. Because HEVI-18 tungsten is significantly denser than lead, these pellets retain velocity and energy much farther downrange, making this load highly effective even at 50+ yards. Hunters who demand the best in pattern quality and terminal performance consistently choose HEVI-Shot’s premium tungsten loads.

Performance and Patterning
The HEVI-Shot HS4079 HEVI-18 Blend is specifically formulated to produce exceptionally tight and consistent patterns on turkeys. By blending #7, #8, and #9 shot, HEVI-Shot has created a load that offers both high pellet density in the center of the pattern and enough larger pellets to deliver lethal energy. This results in more pellets on target within the vital zone, dramatically increasing the probability of a clean kill.
Because tungsten is approximately 30% denser than lead, the pellets in the HEVI-18 Blend maintain velocity and kinetic energy much better than traditional lead loads. This translates into deeper penetration and more reliable performance at extended ranges. Many turkey hunters report excellent results out to 60 yards and beyond with this load when paired with a quality choke tube. The 2 1/4-ounce payload is one of the heaviest available in 3-inch 12 gauge turkey shells, giving shooters a significant advantage in pellet count without sacrificing pattern quality.
