HEVI-Shot HEVI-Steel 28 Gauge 2.75" 5/8oz #4 Shot Waterfowl Ammo

The HEVI-Shot HEVI-Steel 28 gauge ammunition delivers enhanced performance for waterfowl hunters seeking maximum effectiveness from smaller gauge shotguns. This premium steel shot load combines the non-toxic compliance required for waterfowl hunting with the stopping power needed for clean harvests.

What Makes This Different

HEVI-Steel technology creates a layered shot design that places denser HEVI-Shot pellets over a steel shot base, increasing pellet count and energy transfer compared to standard steel loads. The 28 gauge platform reduces felt recoil by approximately 30% versus 12 gauge equivalents while maintaining effective range out to 40 yards. This load achieves velocities of 1350 fps, delivering 25% more downrange energy than conventional steel ammunition in the same gauge.

Key Features

• Layered HEVI-Steel shot design with dense outer pellets over steel core
• 5/8 ounce payload of #4 shot optimized for ducks and smaller geese
• 2.75-inch hull length fits all standard 28 gauge chambers
• Non-toxic steel shot meets federal waterfowl hunting requirements
• Consistent 1350 fps muzzle velocity for flat trajectory
• 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
• Precision-loaded hulls ensure reliable feeding and extraction

Field performance testing shows effective pattern density at ranges up to 40 yards, making this load suitable for pass shooting and decoy work over water. The #4 shot size provides optimal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy for medium waterfowl. Weather-resistant primers and sealed case mouths prevent moisture infiltration during extended hunting sessions in wet conditions.
