Departing Thoughts

So, there you have it ladies and gents! HEVI-SHOT has a lot going on in 2025, and we are here for it! Many of these loads are not listed on their website yet.  We linked to everyone that they currently have Live. Additionally, they announced some new loads, but have not provided deets for them yet and we assume that will be coming soon (just like the product itself).

As always, let us know all of your thoughts about HEVI-SHOT and the tremendous amount of new shotgun shells that they have coming down the pipeline. We always appreciate your feedback.
