Product Overview
HEVI-Metal Longer Range is a 1 1/8 oz, 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge waterfowl load made for pressured birds in hard weather. The payload is layered, #2 steel with about 30 percent of the charge in bismuth. The bismuth goes in a size smaller than the steel so the two carry alike, and the shell leaves at 1,500 fps.
Free recoil is about 38 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun, the same as the all-steel HEVI-Steel shell at this payload and speed. The steel in the blend governs choke choice, and Modified is as tight as an older fixed-choke gun should see.
If you're cross-shopping, HEVI-Steel 1 1/8 oz #4 is HEVI's all-steel shell at this charge weight, about 216 pellets of smaller shot. Remington Nitro Steel 3-inch 1 1/4 oz #2 matches the pellet size in zinc-coated steel at 1,450 fps, about 5 ft-lbs harder in the same gun.
- Bismuth runs 9.6 g/cc against steel's 7.8, and it is the denser part of this payload
- Both materials are nontoxic, so the shell meets the federal waterfowl requirement
- At 1,500 fps it starts as fast as any steel load compared
- HEVI has discontinued the Longer Range line
- Bismuth is the dense half of the payload, not a tungsten alloy
- Bigger #2 pellets in the same 1 1/8 oz leave a thinner charge than the #4 steel shell compared
