The HEVI-Shot HEVI-Metal Extreme 20 gauge ammunition delivers superior waterfowl performance through its innovative steel and tungsten blend construction. This premium 3-inch shell combines the affordability of steel with the density advantages of tungsten for exceptional downrange energy and penetration.
What Makes This Different
The dual-metal construction sets HEVI-Metal Extreme apart from standard steel loads by incorporating tungsten pellets alongside steel shot. This combination provides 25% more density than steel alone, resulting in deeper penetration and more consistent patterns at extended ranges. The 6/3 shot blend offers versatility for various waterfowl species, with larger pellets for geese and smaller shot for ducks in a single load.
Key Features
- Steel and tungsten blend for enhanced density and penetration
- 3-inch magnum length delivers maximum powder capacity
- 1 1/16 ounce payload provides substantial pellet count
- 6/3 shot combination covers multiple waterfowl species
- Premium wad design ensures consistent patterns
- Non-toxic construction meets all waterfowl hunting regulations

Field performance demonstrates the effectiveness of the tungsten-steel blend across various hunting conditions. The heavier tungsten pellets maintain velocity better than steel alone, extending effective range by 10-15 yards compared to standard steel loads. Cold weather reliability remains consistent down to -20°F, while the corrosion-resistant hull construction withstands moisture exposure during extended hunts.
