The HEVI-Shot HEVI-Metal Extreme 12 gauge ammunition delivers superior downrange performance through its innovative steel and tungsten pellet combination. This 3-inch shell provides waterfowlers with extended range capabilities and enhanced knockdown power compared to standard steel loads.
What Makes This Different
The HEVI-Metal Extreme technology combines steel pellets with heavier tungsten pellets in a dual-layer configuration. Steel pellets provide velocity and pattern density while tungsten pellets maintain energy at extended ranges. This hybrid approach delivers 40% more knockdown power than conventional steel loads while maintaining the velocity needed for long-range shots. The 1-1/4 ounce payload in 2 and BB shot sizes creates versatile performance for various waterfowl species.
Key Features
- Steel and tungsten pellet combination for maximum energy transfer
- 3-inch magnum shell with 1-1/4 ounce payload
- Dual shot sizes (2 and BB) for versatile hunting applications
- Non-toxic composition meets federal waterfowl hunting requirements
- High-velocity loading maintains flat trajectory at distance
- Precision-engineered wad system for consistent patterns
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
Field testing demonstrates consistent patterns at 40+ yards with excellent pellet retention and energy transfer. The tungsten component maintains lethal energy beyond the effective range of standard steel loads, making it particularly effective for high-flying waterfowl and challenging weather conditions. The dual-pellet design provides forgiveness on marginal hits while delivering decisive performance on center shots.
