The #4 shot size makes this load versatile for a range of waterfowl hunting scenarios. You get 25 rounds per box, so you can stock up for early season or build your reserves for the migration. HEVI-Shot has spent decades refining steel shotshell design, and it shows in how their loads pattern and perform in the field. Whether you're working a marsh at dawn or setting up over decoys on open water, ammunition this reliable takes one variable off your plate.

If you're running steel shot for the first time or switching brands, confirm your shotgun is rated for steel ammunition before loading up—most modern 12 gauge guns handle it without issue, but older or specialty barrels may have limitations.

Frequently Asked Questions

#4 shot is a versatile choice for most waterfowl hunting. It patterns well and delivers adequate energy for ducks and geese at practical hunting ranges. Your specific results will depend on your shotgun, choke, and shooting distance, so patterning before the season is always a smart move.

Can I use steel shot in any 12 gauge shotgun?

Most modern 12 gauge shotguns are rated for steel shot, but not all—particularly older guns or those with specialty barrels. Always check your shotgun's manual or markings to confirm it's rated for steel ammunition before shooting these rounds. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer or reach out to our team.

How many shells come in a box?

Each box contains 25 rounds, making it easy to stock up or resupply during the season.

Do these shells pattern well in standard chokes?

HEVI-Shot loads are designed to pattern cleanly in standard shotgun chokes. Patterning your specific gun before hunting will show you exactly what to expect in the field and help you dial in your shooting distance and choke selection.
