Grouse, Quail, Sporting Clays & Waterfowl HEVI-Shot Ammo Introduces New HEVI-Hammer 12 Gauge Waterfowl Winchester Super X Waterfowl Hunter In Mossy Oak Shadow Grass A deadly combinationBy now, we should be familiar with the idea behind the Stratified series of shotshells, since Apex Ammunition already launched dove-hunting loads with a similar design. These are duplex loads, with pellets of different sizes that allow you to reach out to farther-away birds but still giving medium-range coverage. In the case of the new Apex loads, they use S3 zinc-coated steel pellets for the 12-gauge loads in BB and #2 sizes, or #2 and #4 sizes, or #4 and #6 sizes. The 20-gauge loads come in a #2 and #4-blended load, or a #4 and #6-blended load. Those pellet sizes should cover all ranges of waterfowl, from small teal to big northern redlegs or geese.Both 12-gauge and 20-gauge options are sold in 25-round boxes, with a $27.99 price tag for a box of 12 gauge, or $26.99 for a box of 20 gauge. “The Waterfowl Stratified Series was developed in direct response to our most dedicated hunters asking for a smarter, harder-hitting shell for ducks and geese,” said Jason Lonsberry, big boss at Apex Ammunition. “By combining multiple shot sizes in a single payload, this shell ensures you get tight pattern coverage up close and hard-hitting knockdown at distance, making it ideal for the unpredictable nature of waterfowl hunting.”For more details, visit ApexMunition.com.
