HEVI-Metal HS39002 20 Gauge 3" 1oz #2 Shot Waterfowl Shells

The HEVI-Metal HS39002 delivers extended range performance for waterfowl hunters demanding consistent patterns at distance. This 20-gauge ammunition combines steel and tungsten pellets to maximize knockdown power while maintaining affordable pricing for high-volume shooting.

What Makes This Different

HEVI-Metal technology blends traditional steel shot with denser tungsten-based pellets, creating a dual-density load that outperforms standard steel ammunition. The heavier tungsten pellets maintain velocity longer while steel pellets provide volume and pattern density. This combination extends effective range by 10-15 yards compared to conventional steel loads, giving hunters more opportunities on challenging shots.

Key Features

• Dual-density pellet design with steel and tungsten for extended range
• 20-gauge 3-inch magnum shells with 1-ounce payload
• #2 shot size optimized for ducks and geese
• 1,400 fps muzzle velocity for flat trajectory
• Non-toxic composition meets all federal waterfowl regulations
• Consistent patterns through modified and full chokes
• 25 shells per box, 10 boxes per case (250 rounds total)

Field performance shows reliable cycling in semi-automatic shotguns and consistent ignition in cold weather conditions. The #2 shot size provides optimal penetration on medium to large waterfowl while maintaining adequate pattern density for crossing shots. Hunters report clean kills at ranges where standard steel loads lose effectiveness, particularly on high-flying geese and late-season mallards.
