HEVI-Metal HS38704 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/8oz #4 Shot 25 Rounds

The HEVI-Metal HS38704 Longer Range delivers extended effective range for waterfowl hunters demanding consistent patterns at distance. This 12-gauge load combines steel and bismuth pellets to maximize knockdown power while maintaining legal compliance for non-toxic hunting requirements.

What Makes This Different

HEVI-Metal's layered shot technology places denser bismuth pellets behind steel shot, creating a dual-density payload that extends lethal range beyond standard steel loads. The bismuth component maintains energy at longer distances while steel pellets provide immediate impact. This combination delivers 25% more knockdown energy than conventional steel ammunition at ranges exceeding 40 yards.

Key Features

• Layered shot design with steel and bismuth pellets for extended range performance
• 1 1/8 ounce payload of #4 shot optimized for medium to large waterfowl
• 2.75-inch hull compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns including 3-inch chambers
• Non-toxic formulation meets federal waterfowl hunting regulations
• Precision-crimped cases ensure consistent powder burn and shot release
• Corrosion-resistant primers perform reliably in wet field conditions
• 25 rounds per box with 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing

Field testing demonstrates consistent patterns at 50+ yards with maintained pellet energy for clean kills on ducks and geese. The dual-metal construction reduces pellet deformation during barrel transit, resulting in tighter shot groups and improved accuracy. Hunters report reliable cycling in semi-automatic shotguns and consistent ignition in extreme cold conditions. The #4 shot size provides optimal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy for versatile waterfowl applications.
