The HEVI-SHOT 20 Gauge 3" 1-1/4 oz #4 Shot (Model HS52004) is a premium, high-performance shotshell designed for serious waterfowl hunters, turkey hunters, and upland bird enthusiasts. Loaded with 1-1/4 ounces of HEVI-Shot’s signature high-density tungsten shot in #4 size, this 3-inch magnum shell delivers exceptional downrange energy and superior pattern density compared to traditional lead or steel loads. The HS52004 offers the perfect combination of power and manageable recoil in the popular 20 gauge platform.
Superior High-Density Tungsten Performance
HEVI-Shot is renowned for using tungsten, which is significantly denser than steel and lead. This increased density allows the pellets to maintain velocity and energy at longer ranges, resulting in cleaner kills and more effective patterns. The #4 shot size in this load provides an excellent balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy, making it highly effective for ducks, geese, and turkeys at typical hunting distances. The 3-inch shell length maximizes payload while remaining compatible with most 20 gauge shotguns.
HEVI-SHOT 20 Gauge 3" 1-1/4 oz #4 Shot delivers high-density tungsten performance with superior downrange energy, making it an excellent choice for waterfowl, turkey, and big upland game.

Why Choose HEVI-SHOT 20 Gauge #4 Shot?
HEVI-Shot ammunition is trusted by serious hunters who demand maximum performance from their shotshells. The HS52004 stands out because it offers the advantages of high-density tungsten in a 20 gauge platform, which many hunters prefer for its lighter recoil compared to 12 gauge. The 1-1/4 ounce payload of #4 shot provides excellent pattern density and lethal energy on ducks, geese, and turkeys. Because tungsten is denser than steel, these pellets fly farther and hit harder than conventional steel loads of the same size. This makes the HS52004 particularly effective for pass-shooting waterfowl or taking turkeys at longer ranges. Hunters who want premium performance without stepping up to 12 gauge will find the HEVI-SHOT 20 Gauge 3" 1-1/4 oz #4 Shot to be an outstanding option.
