Q: What is the primary application for this HEVI-Shot ammunition?

A: This ammunition is primarily designed for hunting. The longer range capability and #4 shot size make it particularly effective for waterfowl hunting, especially for larger birds like geese at extended distances.

Q: Is this ammunition safe for use in all 12 gauge shotguns?

A: No, this ammunition is not safe for use in all 12 gauge shotguns. It's a 3 1/2" shell, so it should only be used in shotguns specifically chambered for 3 1/2" shells. Always check your shotgun's specifications before using this ammunition.

Q: What advantages does the HEVI-Metal shot offer?

A: HEVI-Metal shot combines steel and tungsten, offering a balance of performance and cost. It provides better downrange energy and penetration than pure steel shot, while being more affordable than pure tungsten loads. This results in improved lethality at longer ranges.

A: Due to its 3 1/2" shell length, 1 1/2 oz payload, and high velocity of 1500 fps, this ammunition will produce significant recoil. It will have more felt recoil than standard 2 3/4" or 3" loads, so shooters should be prepared for a more powerful kick.
