HEVI-Shot HEVI-Steel 12 Gauge 3.5" BBB Shot 1-3/8oz Waterfowl Ammo

The HEVI-Shot HS65888 HEVI-Steel delivers consistent knockdown power for waterfowl hunting with its precision-loaded BBB shot and magnum 3.5-inch shell design. This non-toxic steel shot ammunition combines affordability with reliable performance across diverse weather conditions and hunting scenarios.

What Makes This Different

HEVI-Steel ammunition utilizes layered shot technology that places denser steel pellets at the core with softer steel on the exterior, creating more uniform patterns than standard steel loads. The 1-3/8 ounce payload generates higher pellet counts compared to traditional lead alternatives while maintaining consistent velocities of approximately 1,400 feet per second. This construction reduces barrel wear while delivering the penetration needed for large waterfowl at extended ranges.

Key Features

• BBB steel shot size optimized for geese, large ducks, and waterfowl hunting
• 3.5-inch magnum shell length maximizes payload capacity and downrange energy
• 1-3/8 ounce shot charge provides dense pattern coverage at 40+ yard ranges
• Non-toxic steel construction meets federal waterfowl hunting regulations
• Precision-crimped hull design ensures consistent chamber pressure and extraction
• Compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns chambered for 3.5-inch shells
• Packaged in 25-round boxes with 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)

Field testing demonstrates reliable cycling in semi-automatic shotguns while maintaining tight pattern density through modified and full choke tubes. The BBB shot size provides optimal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy for clean harvests on large waterfowl species. Weather-resistant primers and powder charges function reliably in temperatures ranging from -20°F to 140°F, making this ammunition suitable for early season teal hunting through late-season goose hunts.
