The Winchester WEXP123H4 Xpert Pheasant delivers consistent lead-free performance for upland bird hunting in areas with non-toxic shot requirements. This high-velocity 12-gauge load combines steel shot technology with Winchester's proven powder formulations to maintain effective range and knockdown power on pheasants and similar game birds.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lead loads, this ammunition uses precision-engineered steel shot that maintains velocity downrange while meeting environmental regulations. The 3-inch magnum shell delivers 25% more shot than standard 2¾-inch loads, creating denser patterns at extended ranges. Winchester's high-velocity powder charge pushes the 1¼-ounce payload to speeds that compensate for steel shot's lighter density compared to lead.Key Features
