HEVI-Shot HEVI-Steel Shotshells 20 ga 3" 7/8 oz 1400 fps #3 100/ct

HEVI-Shot HEVI-Steel shotshells deliver all-steel performance for 20-gauge waterfowl hunting with the velocity and pattern density needed to anchor ducks and geese at practical distances. Loaded to 1400 fps in a 3-inch magnum hull with 7/8-ounce payloads of #3 shot, these rounds push steel pellets downrange fast enough to maintain energy where it counts—on the water or over decoys. This 100-round case makes them practical for serious duck season prep and regular range work.

The engineering here matters. HEVI-Shot loads these shells with precision-cast 7.8 g/cc steel pellets that fly true, backed by a best-in-class wad design that protects pattern integrity and reduces deformation. Clean-burning propellant cycles reliably through semi-auto and pump guns, and the ignition system is built for dependable performance in cold, wet conditions when you need it most.

For hunters running 20-gauge setups—whether by choice or as a lighter-recoiling alternative to 12-gauge—HEVI-Steel bridges the gap between reduced recoil and genuine waterfowl authority. The #3 shot size handles the range sweet spot for most over-decoy hunting scenarios. A full case gives you the ammunition volume to pattern-test your gun, work a season, and stay in the field without rationing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are HEVI-Steel shotshells legal for waterfowl hunting?

Yes. HEVI-Steel loads use all-steel pellets, which are lead-free and compliant with federal and state waterfowl hunting regulations. Always verify current local regulations for your hunting area.

Will these work in my 20-gauge semi-auto?

HEVI-Steel shotshells are designed for standard 20-gauge shotguns, including semi-autos and pumps. The clean-burning propellant and standard wad system support reliable cycling. For your specific gun, we recommend consulting your owner's manual or testing a few shells at the range to confirm reliable function.

What is #3 shot best for in waterfowl hunting?

#3 steel shot is a versatile mid-range choice for ducks and geese, covering the distance window where most over-decoy and pass-shooting scenarios occur. It balances pellet count and energy retention effectively for typical hunting distances.

Why 1400 fps—is it faster than standard loads?

The 1400 fps velocity is matched to the 7/8-ounce payload in this load, designed to deliver consistent energy downrange and support the pattern density needed for waterfowl. This velocity is typical for quality modern waterfowl ammunition, not necessarily extreme, but purposeful.
