The Winchester Drylok Super Steel High Velocity delivers maximum knockdown power for waterfowl hunters demanding consistent performance in extreme conditions. This 12-gauge ammunition combines steel shot technology with high-velocity propellant to achieve superior range and stopping power. Winchester's precision-loaded shells maintain tight patterns at extended distances while meeting federal non-toxic shot requirements.
What Makes This Different
The Drylok Super Steel system utilizes advanced wad technology that creates a protective barrier between steel shot and barrel, reducing wear while maintaining velocity. Unlike standard steel loads that lose energy quickly, these shells maintain 1,400+ fps muzzle velocity through Winchester's optimized powder blend. The precision-formed steel shot delivers 15% better pattern density compared to conventional steel ammunition.
Key Features
- High-velocity 1,400+ fps muzzle velocity for extended effective range
- Drylok moisture-resistant coating prevents corrosion in wet conditions
- Precision steel shot #3 size optimized for medium to large waterfowl
- 3.5-inch magnum length maximizes powder capacity and downrange energy
