2. Hevi-Shot Speed Ball Rounds Out Nontoxic Lineup Environ-Metal continues to expand its roster, adding the high-velocity Speed Ball to its Hevi-Shot line.

Speed Ball shells are constructed with a layered-shot technology that propels the pellets at velocities of 1,635 and 1,650 fps. This ammunition is loaded with a mix of heavier than steel and heavier than lead pellets. The 3 1/2-inch shotshells are available in 1 1/2-ounce loads of BBs, 1s, or 2s. The 3-inch loads carry 1 1/4 ounces of BBs, 1s, or 2s. hevishot.com
