Hevi-Shot

  The founders of HEVI-Shot® were long-time waterfowlers frustrated by the poor performance of 1999-vintage waterfowl loads. In December 1999, they decided to launch a company to commercialize a revolutionary nontoxic tungsten-nickel-iron alloy developed by Dr. Darryl Amick of Albany, Oregon.Within a year, the company began producing and selling HEVI-Shot® brand shotshells from a small rented space in Sweet Home, Oregon. Within two years, HEVI-Shot® received national exposure through a co-brand arrangement with Remington Arms Co. In 2005, ENVIRON-Metal, Inc. took back the brand and began production and sales of HEVI-Shot® products from our Sweet Home facility.As a company founded by hunters, each step in our development is guided by the desire to make each hunt the best experience in the field you have ever had. Today, HEVI-Shot® products cover virtually any  type of shooting or hunting that uses a shotgun.
