The HEVI-Shot HEVI-Steel 20 gauge ammunition delivers superior waterfowl performance with advanced steel shot technology that outperforms traditional loads. This 3-inch shell combines the knockdown power hunters demand with the non-toxic compliance required for waterfowl hunting across North America.
What Makes This Different
HEVI-Steel technology creates denser, more uniform shot patterns compared to conventional steel loads through precision manufacturing and optimized powder charges. The layered shot design places dense HEVI-Shot pellets over steel shot, delivering 40% more knockdown power than standard steel ammunition. Each shell maintains consistent velocities across temperature ranges, ensuring reliable performance from early season teal to late season mallards.
Key Features
- Layered shot technology combines HEVI-Shot and steel pellets for maximum impact
- 3-inch 20 gauge shells with 7/8 ounce payload for optimal ballistics
- #2 shot size provides ideal penetration for medium to large waterfowl
- Non-toxic steel shot meets all federal and state waterfowl regulations
- Precision-loaded powder charge delivers consistent 1400+ fps velocities
- 25 shells per box, 10 boxes per case for extended hunting seasons
- Compatible with all 20 gauge shotguns chambered for 3-inch shells
Field testing demonstrates tight, consistent patterns at ranges up to 50 yards, with the layered shot design maintaining energy transfer through thick feathers and bone. The ammunition performs reliably in temperature extremes from freezing marsh conditions to warm early season hunts. Hunters report clean kills on ducks, geese, and other waterfowl with reduced crippling rates compared to standard steel loads.
