The Winchester Drylok Super Steel Magnum delivers consistent patterns and reliable ignition in challenging waterfowl hunting conditions. This 12-gauge ammunition combines steel shot performance with weather-resistant Drylok technology to maintain effectiveness in wet environments.
What Makes This Different
The Drylok Super Steel system features a proprietary wax coating that seals the crimp and protects the powder charge from moisture infiltration. Unlike standard steel loads that can suffer from humidity exposure, this ammunition maintains consistent velocities and patterns even after exposure to rain or high moisture conditions. The magnum load delivers 1,350 fps muzzle velocity for extended effective range on waterfowl.
Key Features
- Drylok moisture-resistant wax coating prevents powder contamination
- 1-1/4 ounce steel shot payload with #2 shot size for waterfowl hunting
- 2.75-inch magnum shell length fits standard 12-gauge chambers
- 1,350 fps muzzle velocity provides flat trajectory and knockdown power
- Steel shot construction meets non-toxic shot requirements for waterfowl
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
- Consistent primer ignition in cold weather conditions
Field performance testing shows reliable cycling in semi-automatic shotguns and consistent patterns through modified and full chokes. The steel shot construction maintains energy downrange while meeting federal non-toxic shot regulations for migratory bird hunting. The magnum powder charge provides the velocity needed for long-range shots on high-flying waterfowl, while the moisture protection ensures reliable ignition during extended hunts in wet conditions.
