HEVI-Metal Longer Range — 20 Gauge, 3" — 1.0 oz, #4 Shot — 25 Rounds/Box, 10 Boxes/Case (HS39004) — UPC 816383003572
Take your upland, dove, and field-shooting performance farther than ever with HEVI-Metal® Longer Range 20-gauge shotshells. Engineered for enhanced downrange energy and dense patterns in a lightweight 20-gauge package, the HS39004 delivers a purpose-built combination of pellet momentum, uniformity, and non-toxic construction—perfect for hunters and sportsmen who demand serious performance without stepping up to a 12-gauge.
Purpose-Built for Extended Effective Range
The HEVI-Metal Longer Range 20GA load pairs a 3.00" magnum hull with a 1.0-ounce payload of #4 HEVI-Metal pellets to give you more pellets on target and better terminal performance at extended distances compared to conventional steel loads of similar size. HEVI-Metal pellets are a dense, lead-free alloy designed to retain energy and resist deformation, which means improved penetration and a tighter pattern where it matters most.

Why HEVI-Metal Longer Range?
HEVI-Metal’s proprietary pellets are heavier and denser than standard steel shot, which improves pellet momentum and sectional density. For a 20-gauge load, that means:
Improved downrange energy for cleaner, more ethical kills on medium-sized birds and tougher targets.
Tighter, more consistent patterns for better pellet count on target at the limits of typical 20-gauge ranges.
Lead-free construction that complies with non-toxic shot regulations in waterfowl and many migratory bird zones while outperforming many other non-lead alternatives.
Ballistics, Patterning & Choke Guidance
HEVI-Metal Longer Range loads are optimized for magnum velocities in a 3" hull. Because shotgun performance varies by barrel length, choke, and shot cup, always pattern your shotgun before hunting:
For distant upland and dove shots, try modified to improved-cylinder or modified to improved chokes depending on range—tighter chokes generally yield denser patterns downrange.
Pattern at realistic hunting distances to determine point-of-impact and choke selection.
Use only in shotguns rated for 3" shells—do not attempt to fire these loads in 2¾" or 3"-only firearms.
Ideal Uses
Upland bird hunting: Grouse, pheasant, chukar, and gray partridge at intermediate ranges.
Dove fields: Extra pellet energy and pattern density for longer winging shots.
Guides & Outfitters: Case packs (250 rounds) are convenient for outfitting clients and saving on per-round costs.
Hunters seeking lead-free performance: Heavy alloy gives many of the benefits of lead without environmental lead restrictions.
Storage, Handling & Safety
Store ammunition in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and temperature extremes.
Follow all standard firearm safety rules: treat guns as loaded, keep muzzles pointed in a safe direction, and verify your shotgun is unloaded before handling.
Verify your shotgun is rated for 3.00" magnum shells before use.
Keep ammunition out of reach of children and secure when not in use.
Packaging & Value
Buying the HS39004 by the case (10 boxes × 25 shells) gives you consistent performance across many hunts or a season of training. The case format is ideal for clubs, outfitters, and serious hunters who want to stock dependable, high-performance non-toxic rounds without frequent re-ordering.
Final Thoughts
If you want to push the effective range of your 20-gauge while keeping recoil manageable and staying within non-toxic shot requirements, HEVI-Metal Longer Range 20GA 3" 1 oz #4 (HS39004) is engineered to deliver. With dense HEVI-Metal pellets, magnum velocities, and consistent factory-controlled pellet geometry, these shells give upland and dove hunters the extra downrange edge that turns marginal shots into ethical hits.
