HEVI-Shot Metal Xtreme 12 gauge 3" shotshell combines two premium pellet layers to deliver consistent, tight patterns and hard-hitting performance on waterfowl. This tungsten-steel blend pairs a front layer of 12 g/cc density tungsten with a heavier steel core, engineered to pattern reliably and strike with authority downrange. If you're serious about waterfowl hunting and want ammunition that minimizes flyers and maximizes lethality, Metal Xtreme's two-stage design gives you the consistency that matters when your shot counts.
The dual-density approach is the key here. That leading tungsten layer—30% of the shot charge—hits noticeably harder than the steel component behind it, giving you the density advantage tungsten shooters expect without the premium cost of a full-tungsten load. The steel backing (70% of the charge) is precisely sized three shot sizes larger than standard, balancing energy retention with pattern density. Together, they're designed to stay together through the bore and into the pattern, not scatter like some cheaper blends.
Metal Xtreme is the first HEVI-Shot load to use the FLITECONTROL Flex Wad, a proven design that tightens patterns by keeping pellets in formation longer. Combined with HEVI-Shot's Pattern Density Technology, you get the consistency waterfowl ammunition should deliver—shot after shot, box after box. Each 25-round box is loaded to 1450 fps muzzle velocity, a moderate, manageable speed that doesn't sacrifice performance for recoil.
This is serious waterfowl ammunition for hunters who understand that pattern consistency and pellet hardness make the difference between clean, ethical kills and frustrating misses. Metal Xtreme splits the difference between pure tungsten pricing and budget steel loads, offering real performance where it counts.
| Gauge | 12 |
| Shell Length | 3 inches (76mm) |
| Shot Size | 6 |
| Shot Charge Weight | 1 1/4 oz |
| Pellet Composition | Tungsten (30% by charge) / Steel (70% by charge) |
| Tungsten Density | 12 g/cc |
| Steel Density | 7.8 g/cc |
| Wad Type | FLITECONTROL Flex Wad |
| Muzzle Velocity | 1450 fps |
| Rounds Per Box | 25 |
| Intended Use | Waterfowl |
The tungsten layer delivers significantly more impact energy than steel alone, hitting 53% harder. This means better penetration and more reliable kills on waterfowl at distance, while the steel backing keeps cost reasonable compared to premium all-tungsten loads.
The wad keeps your shot pellets grouped together longer as they travel downrange, resulting in tighter, more consistent patterns. This translates to better hit probability and cleaner kills on waterfowl.
Yes. This is a non-toxic load suitable for waterfowl hunting where steel or tungsten shot is required by law.
This load uses size 6 shot, appropriate for waterfowl hunting. Muzzle velocity is 1450 fps, a moderate speed that provides effective range without excessive recoil or excessive spread.
