Hevi shot is made of tungsten, nickel and iron, and Mega shot is made of tungsten, bronze and iron. Mega is about 10-15% heavier and unlike, Hevi it is round-not chunks of metal. Mega shoots better out of my Brownings but Hevi shoots better out of my Benelli's. I was able to increase the effective range of my turkey gun this yr by about 10 yds by using Mega. Mega give me more even patterns too although the Hevi shot is very, very good. The difference in the quality of pattern wouldn't matter to most hunters.
The Hevi likes a tighter choke. I think because the Mega round has a lot of weight. 2 1/4 vs 2 7/16. But I think that extra weight has given me more down range effectiveness. Sadly, I don't know of any major ammo maker who uses Mega. But it will catch on over the next few years I think. It costs slightly more than Hevi but I think worth it. Also wont scratch your barrel as bad as Hevi.
Best, Ray
