The HEVI-Shot HEVI-Metal HS38502 delivers extended range performance for serious waterfowl hunters demanding consistent patterns at greater distances. This 12-gauge ammunition combines steel and tungsten pellets to achieve higher density patterns while maintaining the velocity needed for clean harvests on challenging shots.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard steel loads, HEVI-Metal incorporates a blend of steel and tungsten pellets that increases pattern density by approximately 25% compared to conventional steel ammunition. The 3.5-inch magnum shell generates higher velocities while the dual-metal construction maintains lethal energy at extended ranges. This hybrid approach delivers the knockdown power of premium non-toxic loads at a more accessible price point than pure tungsten alternatives.
Key Features
- Steel and tungsten pellet blend for enhanced pattern density
- 3.5-inch magnum case with 1.5-ounce payload
- #2 shot size optimized for medium to large waterfowl
- Non-toxic composition compliant with federal waterfowl regulations
- High-velocity loading for flat trajectory performance
- Consistent ignition with reliable primer systems
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case for volume purchasing
Field performance demonstrates reliable cycling in semi-automatic shotguns with consistent velocities across temperature ranges. The ammunition maintains tight patterns at 40+ yard distances, making it effective for pass shooting and late-season birds that require longer shots. Weather-sealed primers and crimps resist moisture infiltration during extended hunts in harsh conditions.
