Hevi-Shot Hevi-Steel Loads 12Ga #2 3In 25/Box 10Bx/Cs HEVI-Shot's HEVI-Steel ammunition delivers extreme lethality from a non-toxic load. HEVI-Steel combines steel shot with the revolutionary HEVI-Shot into a layered shotshell. HEVI-shot is a non-toxic shot comprised of tungsten alloy, nickel, and iron that is similar in density to lead. This results in more impressive long-range patterns and 20% more lethal pellets on target when compared to strictly steel loads.
HEVI-Steel ammunition is loaded with a layer of HEVI-Shot over top of a layer of steel shot. This combination delivers the terminal performance and long-range patterns you desire at a more affordable price than typical HEVI-Shot ammunition. Manufacturer: Hevi-Shot

12 gauge is the most popular and useful shotgun gauges ever made. Suitable for everything from doves to geese. With sporting, military and law enforcement applications. Available in 2 ¾”, 3” and 3 ½”. The magnum lengths are generally preferred for waterfowl and turkey. Most major manufacturers produce guns and ammunition in a very wide septum for 12 gauge. Loads from ¾ oz. to 2 oz. are common with 1 1/8 oz Low base and 1 ¼ oz being the most common loadings. Target loads are normally around 1150 to 1200 FPS with High velocity lead loads tuning up 1350 FPS. Steel waterfowl loads tend to be loaded faster around 1500 FPS to compensate lower density shot. While the 2 ¾” loading is still the most popular ammunition made, nearly all current production guns have 3”or 3 ½” chambers. The shorter ammunition can be safely fired in longer chambers, but not all magnum semiautomatics will function with shorter shotshells. — Craig Boddington
