The Winchester Last Call Double Shot 12 gauge ammunition delivers dual-payload technology that maximizes waterfowl hunting effectiveness through precision-engineered shot combinations. This 3-inch magnum load combines BB steel shot with #7 Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) in a single cartridge, providing both long-range knockdown power and dense pattern coverage.
What Makes This Different
Unlike conventional single-shot loads, the Last Call Double Shot features a unique dual-stage payload that releases BB steel shot first for initial impact energy, followed by the denser TSS pellets for pattern fill and stopping power. This innovative design extends effective range while maintaining lethal energy at distances where traditional steel loads lose effectiveness. The combination delivers approximately 30% more pellets on target compared to standard BB steel loads.
Key Features
- Dual-payload system: BB steel shot paired with #7 Tungsten Super Shot
- 3-inch magnum case with 1¼ oz total shot weight
- Tungsten Super Shot density: 18.1 g/cc vs 7.8 g/cc for steel
- Extended effective range up to 50+ yards on waterfowl
- Compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns rated for 3-inch shells
- Premium wad design prevents pellet deformation
- Temperature-stable powder for consistent velocities
Field performance testing shows this ammunition maintains lethal energy on large ducks and geese at extended ranges where conventional steel loads fail to penetrate. The TSS component provides superior pattern density for clean kills on crossing shots, while the BB steel delivers immediate knockdown power. The load performs consistently in temperatures from -20°F to 120°F, making it reliable for early and late season hunting conditions.
