HEVI-Shot HEVI-Steel Upland 20 Gauge 2.75-inch ammunition (brand part no. HS62027) is built for fast-flushing birds where the shot window closes in a hurry. Environ Metal Inc pushes this HEVI-Steel Upland load faster than many competing steel shells, so a dove crossing a field or a quail bursting from cover gets more downrange energy behind the pattern before the bird is gone. A dedicated HEVI-Shot wad and precision manufacturing keep the pattern exceptionally tight for a steel load, backed by dependable ignition that holds up through a full day in the field. For upland hunters who want a lighter, non-toxic steel shell that still hits hard, this is a purpose-built shotgun shell for fast game.

Key Specifications

• The payload weighs 1 ounce, delivering pellet density well matched to fast, close-range upland shots.
• Muzzle velocity runs about 1,325 fps, faster than many competing steel loads for more downrange energy.

• The shot is steel pellets at 7.8 g/cc density, a precision-made non-toxic payload.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a good load for dove and quail? Yes, the #7 shot size and high velocity are matched to the fast, close-range shots typical of dove fields and quail coveys.

Why steel instead of lead for upland hunting? Steel is non-toxic and legal on public lands and refuges that restrict lead shot, and HEVI-Steel Upland’s velocity and wad design close most of the performance gap with lead.
