The HEVI-Shot HEVI-Steel 12 Gauge delivers consistent knockdown power for waterfowl hunting with advanced steel shot technology. This 3.5-inch magnum load combines 1 3/8 ounces of precision BB shot with optimized powder charges for maximum range and pattern density.
What Makes This Different
HEVI-Steel technology creates rounder, more uniform pellets than standard steel shot through proprietary manufacturing processes. The enhanced pellet geometry maintains velocity longer and creates tighter patterns at extended ranges. Independent ballistics testing shows 15-20% better pattern density compared to conventional steel loads at 40+ yards.
Key Features
- 3.5-inch magnum case with 1 3/8 ounce payload for maximum knockdown power
- BB shot size optimized for large waterfowl including geese and sea ducks
- High-velocity loads reaching 1400+ fps muzzle velocity
- Precision-formed steel pellets for consistent flight characteristics
- Weather-resistant crimping and sealing for reliable ignition
- Lead-free construction meets all waterfowl hunting regulations
- 25 shells per box, 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing
Field performance remains consistent across temperature extremes from freezing marsh conditions to warm early season hunts. The magnum load delivers sufficient energy for clean kills on large Canada geese at ranges exceeding 50 yards. Pattern testing shows dense, even shot distribution through modified and full chokes commonly used for waterfowl hunting.
