HEVI-Shot HEVI-Steel 12 Gauge 3" 1-1/4oz #4 Shot Waterfowl Shells

HEVI-Shot HEVI-Steel delivers superior knockdown power and consistent patterns for waterfowl hunting with environmentally compliant steel shot. These 12-gauge shells combine advanced steel shot technology with precision manufacturing to maximize range and effectiveness on ducks and geese.

What Makes This Different

HEVI-Steel features a unique steel shot composition that maintains velocity better than standard steel loads while delivering tighter patterns at extended ranges. The advanced wad design reduces flyers and creates more consistent shot strings compared to conventional steel waterfowl ammunition. Each shell produces approximately 15% better pattern density than comparable steel loads, translating to cleaner kills and fewer crippled birds.

Key Features

• High-velocity steel shot maintains energy downrange for ethical kills
• 1-1/4 ounce payload delivers substantial knockdown power
• Advanced wad system reduces shot deformation and improves patterns
• #4 shot size optimal for medium to large waterfowl at 20-40 yards
• 3-inch magnum shells provide extended effective range
• Non-toxic steel shot meets all federal waterfowl hunting requirements
• Consistent primer ignition ensures reliable performance in cold conditions

Field performance demonstrates tight patterns and consistent velocities across temperature ranges from freezing to 90°F. The steel shot composition resists deformation during barrel transit, maintaining spherical pellets that fly true and penetrate effectively. Hunters report clean kills on mallards, pintails, and Canada geese at ranges extending beyond standard steel shot capabilities. The shells cycle reliably in semi-automatic shotguns and maintain consistent point of impact shot after shot.
