Hevi-Shot Hevi-Steel Waterfowl Ammunition 12 Gauge 2-3/4" 1-1/8 oz #3 Non-Toxic Shot

Hevi-Steel waterfowl ammunition brings a non-toxic steel load option to 12-gauge duck and goose hunters who need reliable, regulation-compliant ammo. This 2-3/4" shotshell loads 1-1/8 oz of #3 steel shot in a standard-length hull, designed for waterfowl hunters operating in areas where steel is the only legal choice. Hevi-Shot engineered Hevi-Steel to deliver the velocity and pattern performance that make clean passes on birds possible, helping you put birds in the bag rather than watching cripples fly away.

Non-toxic shot requirements have been standard for decades in most waterfowl zones, and Hevi-Steel gives you a proven ammunition choice that meets those regulations without compromise. The #3 shot size is a classic waterfowl load—large enough for effective energy at realistic hunting distances, small enough for dense patterns in most barrels. If you're hunting public land, managed duck clubs, or anywhere lead is prohibited, you're likely already familiar with the constraints; Hevi-Steel removes guesswork by delivering what works.

Waterfowl hunting demands ammunition you trust to perform when the moment matters. Whether you're working a blind at first light or glassing a pond for late-season greenheads, consistent velocity and reliable ignition are non-negotiable. Hevi-Steel is built to handle the full season without failure, giving you one less variable to worry about when birds are working your spread.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hevi-Steel legal for waterfowl hunting?

Yes. Hevi-Steel is manufactured from non-toxic steel shot, which is the legal standard for waterfowl hunting across the United States. Always verify your local regulations before hunting.

What's the difference between #3 steel shot and other sizes?

#3 is a mid-range steel shot size commonly used for ducks and geese. It provides a good balance of pattern density and energy retention at typical waterfowl hunting distances.

Can I use this ammo in any 12-gauge shotgun?

Steel shot is harder than lead and requires a shotgun that is rated for steel ammunition. Check your gun's manual to confirm it's safe for steel loads. Most modern 12-gauge shotguns are steel-safe, but some older or specialty firearms are not.
