Product Overview (SEO Keywords: HEVI-Metal Longer Range, 12 gauge 3.5", 1.5 oz, #2 shot, waterfowl ammo) The HEVI-Metal Longer Range HS38502 is a 3.50-inch magnum 12-gauge load packed with 1½ ounces of HEVI-Metal lead-free pellets sized #2, optimized for extended-range waterfowl and field shooting. Each box contains 25 shells, and cases are sold with 10 boxes (250 rounds total), making this a great option for serious hunters, guides, and clubs preparing for the season. Why HEVI-Metal Longer Range? Extended terminal performance: HEVI-Metal pellets are engineered to retain more energy and resist deformation, translating to harder hits at longer ranges compared with traditional steel and many alternative pellets. Dense, dependable patterns: Proprietary manufacturing produces uniform pellet sizes and weights that yield tight, consistent patterns—critical for long-range shots where pellet count on target matters most. Lead-free, waterfowl-legal: HEVI-Metal uses heavy, lead-free alloy pellets engineered to comply with non-toxic shot regulations while delivering performance beyond ordinary steel. 3.5" magnum power: The 3.50" hull gives this load added powder capacity for higher velocity and sustained pellet energy downrange. Optimized pellet size: #2 shot balances pellet count and individual pellet mass—an excellent choice for medium-to-large waterfowl and mixed field targets at longer distances.

Shot Size: #2 Shot Material: HEVI-Metal lead-free alloy (heavy, dense alternative to steel) Velocity: Manufacturer-optimized magnum velocities for improved downrange energy (refer to label/ballistics data for exact fps). Box Count: 25 shells per box Case Count: 10 boxes per case (250 rounds total) UPC: 816383002841 Performance & Ballistics HEVI-Metal Longer Range loads are engineered to deliver increased pellet momentum and sectional density compared to conventional steel shot—resulting in: Improved energy retention at extended yardages. Greater penetration on large-bodied waterfowl. Enhanced pattern density that puts more pellets inside your point-of-aim for terminal effectiveness. These characteristics make HS38502 an ideal choice when you expect long shots over open water, decoy spreads, or after a long flyway pass where every pellet counts. Ideal Uses Waterfowl hunting: Particularly effective on ducks and geese at extended ranges where conventional steel begins to fall short. Field and marsh hunts: Works well for shots over water, marsh, and open fields where longer engagements are common. Guides and outfitters: Bulk case packaging (250 rounds) makes it cost-effective for outfitting clients and prolonged season use. Hunters seeking non-lead performance: Offers a high-density, lead-free alternative that complies with non-toxic shot regulations. Storage, Handling & Safety Store shells in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Handle ammunition safely—keep away from heat, open flame, and children. Always follow firearm safety rules: treat every firearm as loaded, point the muzzle in a safe direction, and keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. Use HEVI-Metal Longer Range loads in shotguns rated for 3.5" magnum shells; verify your shotgun’s chamber and pressure ratings before firing. Consult your firearm’s owner manual or manufacturer if unsure. Tactical & Practical Considerations Chamber compatibility: Ensure your shotgun is 3.5" compatible (3.5" chambers are required). These high-energy magnum loads are not suitable for 2¾" or 3" only firearms. Choke selection: Longer-range loads benefit from tighter chokes (modified to full) depending on target distance—match your choke to the expected engagement envelope for optimal patterns. Patterning: Always pattern HEVI-Metal loads through your shotgun at realistic hunting distances to confirm point-of-impact and optimal choke selection. Barrel and choke wear: HEVI-Metal’s dense alloy is engineered for safe use in modern shotguns, but routine inspection and maintenance of barrels and chokes is recommended for heavy users. Packaging & Value Buying by the case (10 boxes × 25 rounds) provides: Better per-round economics for guides, clubs, and hunters prepping for season-long use. Consistent performance across the case—ideal for training days and extended hunts. Convenient storage boxes for transport and range use. Why Hunters Choose HEVI-Metal HEVI-Metal is trusted by serious waterfowlers for its combination of downrange energy, pattern density, and lead-free compliance. For hunters who want to push effective range without sacrificing terminal performance, the Longer Range series offers a purposeful solution—especially in regions where non-toxic shot is required.
