HEVI-Metal HS38504 Hevi-Metal Longer Range 12 Gauge 3.50" 1 1/2 oz 1500 fps 4 Shot 25ea

The HEVI-Metal Longer Range 12 gauge shotshell is built for waterfowlers who won't accept close-range limits. Loaded with a proprietary blend of high-density HEVI-Bismuth and steel shot, this 3.5-inch magnum round delivers significantly more downrange energy than traditional steel alone—exactly what you need when ducks and geese are working beyond typical gun range. At 1500 fps with a 4 shot size and 1 1/2 ounce payload, it's engineered to compress your pattern tighter and extend your effective killing distance.

The secret is Hevi-Metal's Pattern Density Technology, which loads 30 percent HEVI-Bismuth (9.6 g/cc density pellets) layered with 70 percent corrosion-resistant steel shot. That density difference means more mass and momentum downrange while keeping recoil in the realm of real-world shootability. The result is tighter patterns at longer ranges and cleaner, more reliable harvests—especially critical when passing birds are your only shot.

Built for reliability across the board, Hevi-Metal Longer Range cycles smoothly in most shotgun actions and performs dependably even when temperatures drop. The corrosion-resistant steel component shrugs off wet blinds and salt spray, while the HEVI-Bismuth component cuts through decoys and distant targets with authority. This is ammunition for serious waterfowl hunters who demand more from every shell.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Hevi-Metal Longer Range work in my semi-automatic shotgun?

HEVI-Metal Longer Range shells are engineered to cycle reliably in most modern shotguns, including semi-automatics. However, always consult your gun's manual to confirm it's rated for 3.5-inch magnum loads and steel shot.

What's the advantage of mixing HEVI-Bismuth with steel shot?

The 30% HEVI-Bismuth payload adds high-density mass that increases downrange power by 16 percent compared to steel-only loads, while the 70% steel component keeps the round affordable and legal in most waterfowl zones. The combination delivers tighter patterns and cleaner kills at extended range.

Is this load suitable for goose hunting?

Yes. The 4 shot size, 1 1/2 ounce payload, 3.5-inch magnum capacity, and high-density shot composition are all designed for larger waterfowl hunting applications, including geese at longer range.

How many rounds are in a box?

Each box contains 25 shells.
