HEVI-Shot HEVI-Steel 12 Gauge 3-Inch 1-3/8oz #2 and #4 Shot, 25-Round Box

HEVI-Shot HEVI-Steel 12 gauge 3-inch shotshells (part no. HS60024) load a 1-3/8 ounce payload of layered #2 and #4 steel shot at a fast 1,450 feet per second for waterfowl hunters who want speed and pattern density in one shell. HEVI-Shot built HEVI-Steel as its first all-steel load, using 7.8 g/cc precision steel pellets that pattern denser than typical steel shot and a best-in-class wad for dependable ignition. The layered payload puts larger #2 shot on the outside for extended range and smaller #4 shot on the inside for tighter, denser patterns up close. That combination delivers more downrange energy and easier connections on ducks and geese working the decoys. In shotgun shells built for volume waterfowl hunting, this is a steel load that earns its speed.

Key Specifications

• The gauge is 12 gauge, the standard platform for serious waterfowl hunting.
• The shell length is 3 inches, a magnum hull with room for a heavier payload.
• The payload weighs 1-3/8 ounces, a substantial charge of steel shot.
• The payload is layered #2 and #4 shot, combining reach and pattern density in one shell.
• Layering two shot sizes gives denser patterns up close and more energy at range, covering both scenarios in one load.
• Muzzle velocity reaches 1,450 feet per second, fast for a steel waterfowl load.
• The steel pellets are rated at 7.8 grams per cubic centimeter, denser than typical steel shot for better downrange energy retention.
• Each box holds 25 rounds, enough for a full day in the blind.
• The cost runs about $1.08 per round, competitive pricing for a high-velocity layered steel load.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this load use two shot sizes? The layered payload puts larger #2 shot up front for extended range and smaller #4 shot behind it for denser patterns at closer distances, covering both scenarios in one shell.

Is HEVI-Steel denser than standard steel shot? Yes, its 7.8 g/cc precision steel pellets are denser than typical steel shot, helping retain more energy downrange.

What game is this load built for? The high velocity and layered payload make it well suited to ducks and geese working close over decoys as well as birds flaring at longer range.

Waterfowl don’t always cooperate by staying at one range, and a layered payload means this load doesn’t have to choose between close pattern density and long-range energy. Load up before the next push of birds and let the shot do the adjusting for you. Order from our Lubbock, Texas gun shop and it ships fast to your door.
