Pattern Density Technology Our HEVI-Metal Longer Range is all about more pellets on target at longer range. We aren’t talking about "sky-busting," we are talking about your buddy crippling a bird and it sailing across the lake… you will have confidence in your HEVI-Metal Longer Range to knock that bird out of the sky. The 30% layer of bismuth is one shot size smaller than the 70% steel. This ensures both layers have equal downrange performance.
