Hevi-Shot Hs62035 Hevi-Steel Waterfowl 20Gauge 3" 1Oz 3/5Shot 25Rd Bx

HEVI-Shot HEVI-Steel Waterfowl shotshell ammo delivers steel shot loads built for duck and goose hunting in a 20-gauge 3-inch platform. If you're running a 20-gauge and want serious downrange performance without the complexity of lead shot restrictions, this is the load you're after. The 1-ounce payload combines pellet sizes strategically—a layered mix designed to tighten patterns at short range while maintaining energy when birds are at distance. That matters when you're working a pass or waiting for committed birds to decoy close.

HEVI-Steel brings high-velocity propellant and precision-cast steel pellets rated at 7.8 g/cc to the 20-gauge game. The bump in velocity translates to real energy downrange, and that's what separates clean misses from clean kills. The wad design is engineered to support consistent patterns and reliable ignition, so you're getting the same professional-grade setup you'd expect from HEVI-Shot's reputation in steel and exotic-shot loads. Each box contains 25 rounds, so you've got enough to pattern your gun and work a morning hunt.

20-gauge shooters often accept trade-offs for reduced recoil, but HEVI-Steel doesn't ask you to compromise on terminal performance. Whether you're hunting tidal flats, freshwater marshes, or public ground where lead is restricted, this load was engineered to deliver results. Clean-burning powder and a dependable ignition system keep things reliable in cold, wet waterfowling conditions—the environment where you actually need to count on your ammo.

Frequently Asked Questions

What waterfowl is HEVI-Steel 20-gauge rated for?

HEVI-Steel is designed for duck and goose hunting. The load is built around high-velocity steel shot, making it legal and effective in areas where lead shot is restricted or prohibited.

Is the 1-ounce load suitable for long-range waterfowl hunting?

HEVI-Steel's high-velocity propellant and layered payload design are engineered to maintain energy downrange. The split shot size helps deliver dense patterns at moderate distances while retaining energy at longer shots, which is a practical balance for typical waterfowl scenarios.

Can I use this in my 20-gauge shotgun?

Yes—this is a 20-gauge 3-inch shell. Confirm your shotgun is chambered for 3-inch loads before shooting; some 20-gauges are 2¾-inch only.

What does the 3/5 shot mix mean?

HEVI-Steel uses a combination of size 3 and size 5 shot pellets in one load. This layered approach delivers tighter patterns and more pellets at shorter ranges while maintaining energy for longer shooting opportunities.
