Sweet Home, Oregon – March, 2024 – HEVI-Shot Ammunition is now manufacturing new 3-inch, 28-gauge turkey loads in their HEVI-18 TSS and Magnum Blend product lines. These two new products have been shipping to dealers in time for spring turkey hunting seasons.
“With the popularity of the new 3-inch, 28-gauge Super Black Eagle III shotgun from Benelli, it just made sense for us to produce two good options for turkey hunting,” said HEVI-Shot product manager Scott Turner. “And, with other gun companies, such as Mossberg, also offering 3-inch, 28-gauge shotguns, we predict the 28-gauge will be the hot new trend for wild turkey hunters in 2024 and beyond. We are excited to now offer these 28-gauge loads, and we know wild turkey hunters will be happy that we did.”
Spring turkey season is right around the corner and while the 28 Gauge “might not be for everyone,” it definitely “is for some.” With less recoil yet adequate payload downrange, it is an additional, viable option for turkey hunting.
