The HEVI-Metal HS38002 delivers extended range performance for waterfowl hunters who need consistent patterns at longer distances. This 12-gauge load combines steel and bismuth pellets to maximize knockdown power while maintaining environmental compliance.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard steel loads, HEVI-Metal incorporates a layered shot design that places denser bismuth pellets at the front of the charge with steel pellets behind. This configuration delivers 25% more energy at 40 yards compared to conventional steel loads. The 3-inch magnum shell provides the velocity needed to maintain lethal energy at extended ranges where waterfowl hunting demands precise shot placement.

Key Features

  • Layered shot technology combines bismuth and steel for maximum energy transfer
  • 1-1/4 ounce payload delivers dense patterns at 40+ yard ranges
  • #2 shot size optimized for medium to large waterfowl species
  • 3-inch magnum length generates 1,350 fps muzzle velocity
  • Non-toxic composition meets all federal waterfowl hunting regulations
  • Premium wad design reduces flyers and maintains pattern integrity
  • 25 shells per box with 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing
Field performance shows consistent 70% patterns in a 30-inch circle at 40 yards through modified chokes. The dual-metal construction maintains energy better than steel-only loads while costing significantly less than pure bismuth alternatives. Hunters report reliable cycling in semi-automatic shotguns and clean burns that minimize barrel fouling during extended shooting sessions.
