Hevi-Shot Hs60288 Hevi-Steel Waterfowl 12Gauge 3" 1 3/8Oz 2/Bbshot 25Rd Bx

Hevi-Shot Hevi-Steel waterfowl ammunition for 12-gauge shotguns brings velocity and pattern density to duck and goose hunting. This 3-inch magnum load pairs 1 3/8 ounces of precision steel shot with a high-velocity powder charge designed to extend your effective range and deliver consistent energy to birds at distance. The two-shot payload—a combination of BBs and another shot size—layers pellet density for tighter patterns at moderate range and sustained energy on longer shots, making it a practical choice for pass shooting and decoying situations where conditions vary.

The wad system works hard for you downrange, maintaining pellet separation and consistent ballistics throughout the shot string. Hevi-Steel's clean-burning propellant helps keep your gun running smoothly during long days in the marsh, while dependable ignition means you can count on consistent performance in cold, wet conditions. At 25 rounds per box, you get a full day's worth of shooting in one package.

If you're hunting waterfowl with a 12-gauge and want steel loads that pattern reliably and carry authority to 40+ yards, Hevi-Steel bridges the gap between cheap commodity steel ammo and premium bismuth or tungsten alternatives—delivering real ballistic advantage without the premium price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hevi-Steel steel shot legal for waterfowl hunting?

Steel shot is required for most waterfowl hunting in the United States. Check your local hunting regulations to confirm, but Hevi-Steel is manufactured to meet federal waterfowl ammunition standards.

Will Hevi-Steel ammo work in any 12-gauge shotgun?

Hevi-Steel 3-inch loads are designed for 12-gauge shotguns rated for 3-inch magnum shells. Always verify that your shotgun is proofed for 3-inch ammunition before loading and firing. Do not use in barrels restricted to 2 3/4-inch shells.

What's the difference between the two shot sizes in this load?

The two-shot payload (BB and another size) combines tighter pellet density at closer ranges with sustained energy at distance. The mixed sizes help create a more effective pattern across the range of typical waterfowl shooting situations.

How does Hevi-Steel compare to standard steel waterfowl ammo?

Hevi-Steel uses a higher velocity powder charge than typical steel loads, delivering more energy downrange and extending your effective killing range. The engineered wad system and clean-burning propellant also contribute to more consistent performance and easier gun maintenance.
