2 3/4-inch shell • 1 1/8 oz of #4 steel shot
Product Overview
HEVI-Steel is a 1 1/8 oz, 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge steel load made for ducks and geese. HEVI loads #4 steel at 1,500 fps. Steel #4 does the work of lead #6 on ducks, the usual step up for a lighter pellet.
About 216 pellets of #4 make up the charge, the highest count of the three loads compared. Free recoil is about 38 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun. A tight fixed choke and hard steel pellets bulge chokes, so Modified is the limit in an older gun.
If you're cross-shopping, Remington Nitro Steel 2 3/4-inch 1 1/4 oz #2 holds about 60 fewer, larger pellets at 1,275 fps, about 6 ft-lbs softer in the same gun. Its 3-inch 1 1/4 oz #2 version runs 1,450 fps and about 5 ft-lbs harder, with the longer chamber to go with it.
- Steel shot, so it satisfies the federal nontoxic rule for waterfowl
- Fits a 2 3/4-inch chamber, where the 3-inch load compared does not
- At 1,500 fps it is the fastest of the three loads compared
- HEVI names no plating or coating on the shot, where the Remington pellets compared are zinc-coated
- 1 1/8 oz is the lightest payload of the three, so the count comes from pellet size and not from shot weight
- Nothing is stated about the hull or the wad
