The HEVI-Shot Hevi Steel 12 Gauge 3.5" BB shot is a non-toxic alternative designed for waterfowl and upland bird hunting where steel shot is mandated or preferred. Each 25-round box contains maximum dram equivalent loads with 1 3/8 ounce pellet payloads, delivering the energy needed for reliable knockdown at practical hunting ranges. Available in convenient 250-round cases, this ammunition balances regulatory compliance with field performance for serious waterfowl hunters and hunters operating in lead-restricted zones.
The 3.5-inch chamber and max dram loading optimize pellet energy and pattern density from standard 12-gauge shotgun platforms. BB shot size provides superior penetration and range compared to smaller shot sizes, making it the choice for larger waterfowl at extended distances. The steel composition meets federal non-toxic ammunition requirements for all migratory bird hunting, including ducks and geese. Reload counts and ballistic consistency are suited to both field hunting and pattern-testing applications where reproducible performance matters.
This ammunition is engineered for hunters who operate in lead-shot restricted areas, public lands with steel-shot mandates, or anyone choosing non-toxic loads for environmental responsibility. The 250-round case format supports serious hunters preparing for extended seasons, club shoots, or patterning their shotgun with the exact load they'll deploy in the field. Waterfowl hunters, upland bird enthusiasts, and outdoor recreationalists relying on 12-gauge platforms will find the consistent ballistics and regulatory compliance of HEVI Steel essential for success and legal operation across North American hunting jurisdictions.
HEVI-Shot has established itself as a manufacturer of specialized shotgun ammunition for regulated hunting environments. Steel shot as a category remains the industry standard for federal waterfowl compliance, and non-toxic loads are now the baseline expectation across most public hunting areas and many private operations. The 12-gauge 3.5-inch platform represents the dominant choice for serious waterfowl and upland hunters seeking maximum effective range and payload capacity within current shotgun offerings.
