The HEVI-SHOT 12 Gauge 3 Inch 1-3/8 oz #4 Shot (HS51214) represents the pinnacle of non-toxic shotshell technology. Manufactured with HEVI-Shot’s signature high-density tungsten alloy, these premium shotshells deliver significantly better performance than traditional lead or steel loads. With a 1-3/8 ounce payload of #4 shot in a 3-inch hull, the HS51214 is an outstanding choice for waterfowl hunters targeting ducks and geese, as well as turkey hunters looking for dense patterns at extended ranges.

Superior High-Density Tungsten Performance

HEVI-Shot is made from a proprietary tungsten alloy that is denser than lead, allowing the pellets to retain more energy downrange while maintaining tighter patterns. Because the shot is denser, hunters can use smaller shot sizes without sacrificing lethality. The #4 shot size in this load provides an excellent balance between pattern density and individual pellet energy, making it highly effective on a wide variety of game birds.

Why Choose HEVI-SHOT 12 Gauge #4 Shot?

HEVI-Shot has earned a reputation among serious waterfowl and turkey hunters as one of the most effective non-toxic shotshell options available. Unlike steel shot, which loses energy quickly and requires larger shot sizes, HEVI-Shot’s high-density pellets maintain velocity and energy much farther downrange. This allows hunters to use smaller shot sizes like #4, which creates denser patterns without sacrificing killing power. The 1-3/8 ounce payload in the 3-inch shell provides an excellent balance of pattern density and manageable recoil. Whether you’re hunting over decoys in the marsh, pass-shooting geese at longer ranges, or sitting in a turkey blind, the HS51214 delivers the performance needed for clean, ethical harvests. Hunters who have switched to HEVI-Shot consistently report tighter patterns and more birds in the bag compared to traditional steel loads.

Ideal Applications

The HEVI-Shot 12 Gauge 3" 1-3/8 oz #4 load is highly versatile and excels in multiple hunting scenarios. Waterfowl hunters will appreciate the dense patterns and long-range performance when targeting mallards, pintails, teal, and Canada geese. The #4 shot size provides excellent pattern density for ducks while still delivering enough individual pellet energy for clean kills on larger geese. Turkey hunters also favor this load for its ability to produce tight, lethal patterns at 40–50 yards when using a quality turkey choke. Because HEVI-Shot is non-toxic, it is fully compliant for use in federal and state-managed wetlands where lead shot is prohibited. The 3-inch shell length makes it compatible with a wide range of 12 gauge shotguns, including semi-automatics, pumps, and over/under models. Whether you’re hunting in flooded timber, open fields, or from a layout blind, the HS51214 offers the performance and reliability that dedicated waterfowl and turkey hunters have come to expect from HEVI-Shot.

Experience the difference that high-density tungsten makes with the HEVI-Shot 12 Gauge 3 Inch 1-3/8 oz #4 Shot. The Model HS51214 delivers tighter patterns, greater downrange energy, and superior performance for waterfowl and turkey hunting.
