Anyone who’s ever gone to the plug without touching a feather on a hard-crossing teal can appreciate a velocity advantage, and HEVI-Teal offers one. Its all-steel payload leaves the muzzle at significantly higher speeds than competitors’ loads. Besides reducing how much you have to lead birds, this velocity delivers more energy downrange. Combine that with a best-in-class wad and precision manufacturing techniques, and you get more lethality.
