Q: What are the key features of the HEVI-Shot HEVI-Metal Longer Range 20 Gauge ammunition?

A: The HEVI-Shot HEVI-Metal Longer Range 20 Gauge ammunition features 3-inch shells loaded with 1 oz of #4 shot. It has a muzzle velocity of 1350 fps, providing excellent range and power. Each box contains 25 rounds, and it comes in a case of 10 boxes, totaling 250 rounds.

Q: What is the intended use for this ammunition?

A: This ammunition is designed for hunting purposes, specifically for longer-range shots. The #4 shot size and high velocity make it suitable for hunting medium-sized game birds and waterfowl. It's part of the HEVI-Metal Longer Range series, which is engineered to provide extended effective range compared to standard loads.

Q: Is this ammunition lead-free?

A: Yes, as part of the HEVI-Metal line, this ammunition uses non-toxic shot that complies with regulations for waterfowl hunting. The exact composition is a proprietary blend of metals designed to provide performance similar to lead while being environmentally friendly.

Q: How does the recoil of this ammunition compare to standard 20 gauge loads?

A: Due to its high velocity of 1350 fps and 3-inch shell length, this ammunition may produce more recoil than standard 20 gauge loads. Shooters should be prepared for increased felt recoil, which is a trade-off for the extended range and increased power.
