The HEVI-Shot HS61224 HEVI-Steel delivers consistent downrange performance for waterfowl hunters demanding reliable steel shot ammunition. This 12-gauge load combines precision manufacturing with proven ballistics to extend effective range while maintaining dense, uniform patterns.
What Makes This Different
HEVI-Steel technology creates denser shot patterns than conventional steel loads through engineered pellet consistency and optimized powder charges. The 1-1/8 ounce payload delivers approximately 15% more pellets on target compared to standard steel loads of similar weight. Velocity remains consistent across temperature ranges, maintaining reliable performance from early season teal to late-season mallards in harsh conditions.
Key Features
- 1-1/8 ounce #4 steel shot payload for versatile waterfowl hunting
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all 12-gauge shotguns including 2.75" chambers
- Precision-manufactured steel pellets for consistent roundness and uniform patterns
- High-velocity powder charge optimized for steel shot ballistics
- Corrosion-resistant primer and hull construction for reliable ignition
- 25 shells per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
- Meets federal non-toxic shot requirements for waterfowl hunting
Field testing demonstrates consistent 30-32 inch patterns at 40 yards through improved cylinder chokes, with effective lethal range extending to 45+ yards on medium waterfowl species. The #4 shot size provides optimal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy for ducks and smaller geese. Performance remains stable in wet conditions, with reliable extraction and ejection across semi-automatic and pump-action platforms.
