HEVI-Shot HEVI-Steel 20 Gauge 3" 7/8oz #1 Shot Waterfowl Shells

The HEVI-Shot HEVI-Steel 20 gauge shells deliver consistent patterns and reliable performance for waterfowl hunters demanding steel shot effectiveness. These 3-inch shells feature 7/8 ounce of #1 steel shot engineered for optimal density and knockdown power on ducks and geese.

What Makes This Different

HEVI-Steel technology combines precision-manufactured steel pellets with advanced wad design to achieve tighter patterns than conventional steel loads. The proprietary shot buffering system reduces pellet deformation during firing, maintaining spherical shape for improved ballistics. Independent testing shows 15-20% better pattern density compared to standard steel loads at typical waterfowl ranges.

Key Features

• 7/8 ounce payload of #1 steel shot for maximum stopping power
• 3-inch magnum case length generates 1,400 fps muzzle velocity
• Advanced wad design protects barrel and improves shot release
• Corrosion-resistant steel shot meets federal non-toxic requirements
• Premium brass-plated steel heads resist extraction issues
• Temperature-stable powder performs consistently in cold conditions
• 25 shells per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)

Field performance remains consistent across temperature ranges from -10°F to 100°F, making these shells reliable for early season teal hunts through late-season mallard drives. The #1 shot size provides effective range on medium to large waterfowl while maintaining sufficient pellet count for reliable hits. Pattern testing shows effective range extends to 45 yards with proper choke selection.
