Hey. I know the density of Hevishot is 12 g/cc. I believe its made of tungsten, nickel and iron. I think the density of Hevi 13 is 13 g/cc. But what is the composition of it? And why is it denser than the regular Hevishot? Thanks.

Typicallly more energy is needed to break a turkey's neck!! H13 density was beefed up using more tungsten to increase density to accomplish this.

just wondering, do you know what the density would be of pure tungsten? and is that why companies mix other materials with it to make it less expensive? :oops:
