The Winchester Xpert WEXP12H4 delivers consistent lead-free performance for upland bird hunters targeting pheasant and similar game birds. This high-velocity 12-gauge load combines steel shot technology with Winchester's proven powder systems to maintain effectiveness while meeting non-toxic ammunition requirements.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lead loads, this steel shot ammunition maintains high velocities through advanced powder formulations that compensate for steel's lighter density. The 1 1/8-ounce payload delivers approximately 15% more pellets than comparable lead loads, creating denser patterns at hunting ranges. Winchester's shot cup design reduces barrel wear while improving pattern consistency compared to standard steel shot shells.Key Features
