Premier® HEVI·SHOT® Buckshot
Now deer hunters can enjoy the superior performance characteristics of HEVI·SHOT. Introducing Premier HEVI·SHOT Buckshot loads composed of a proprietary tungsten-based alloy, HEVI·SHOT pellets are 10% heavier than lead. Testing at Remington® has shown a 40% tighter pattern at 40 yards compared to standard lead buckshot. Even more impressive, the penetration is 18% deeper giving deer hunters performance unlike anything ever produced.

Remington Hevi-Shot Buckshot
Has anyone here tried this Buckshot yet?
I think I am going to pattern it for my HD Shotgun and have a three way comparison between:
Express 2 3/4" 9 pellet 00 buckshot
Nickel plated 2 3/4" 9 pellet 00 buckshot
Hevi-Shot 2 3/4" 9 pellet 00 buckshot
40% tighter groups sounds pretty good!
FWIW They also have some New 7/8 oz High Velocity Slugs.
