HEVI-Shot Metal Xtreme 12 gauge 3" waterfowl ammunition pairs tungsten and steel in a layered design built for consistent, lethal patterns on ducks and geese. Each round carries a 1 1/4 oz payload mixing #4 and #1 shot—the heavier tungsten component in front delivers significantly harder impact downrange, while the steel backing ensures reliable velocity and pattern density. If you're serious about waterfowl hunting and want ammunition that performs in real-world conditions, this is engineered to deliver.
The Metal Xtreme uses HEVI-Shot's proprietary Pattern Density Technology to tighten shot strings without sacrificing energy. The 30% tungsten leading layer (12 g/cc density) sits ahead of 70% precision steel pellets (7.8 g/cc), a combination that exploits the ballistic strengths of both metals. The FLITECONTROL FLEX Wad technology manages pellet separation and wad strike issues, which means fewer flyers and tighter clusters on target—critical when you're working across the distances typical waterfowl hunting demands.
At 1450 fps muzzle velocity, these rounds maintain the momentum you need for clean, ethical kills. Non-toxic steel and tungsten meet federal and state waterfowl regulations wherever you hunt. The 25-round box fits standard ammo storage and gives you reliable loads for a full day or weekend at the blind.

Yes. The tungsten and steel pellet composition meets federal and state non-toxic waterfowl ammunition requirements. Always verify your local regulations before hunting.
The 30% tungsten leading layer (12 g/cc) hits harder than the steel layer behind it. This setup combines the density and energy retention of tungsten with the volume and reliable ballistics of steel, resulting in tighter patterns and stronger long-range lethality compared to straight steel loads.
Each box contains rounds loaded with #4 and #1 shot. This mixed-shot approach provides versatility for varied waterfowl species and distances.
The box contains 25 rounds of loaded 3" ammunition, ready to shoot.
