The Winchester XSM2032 Drylok Super Steel delivers maximum knockdown power for waterfowl hunting with advanced steel shot technology in a 20-gauge platform. This magnum load combines precision-engineered steel pellets with Winchester's proven Drylok wad system for consistent patterns and reliable ignition in wet conditions.
What Makes This Different
The Drylok Super Steel system features a specialized wad design that creates superior gas sealing while protecting the barrel from steel shot contact. Unlike standard steel loads that can produce inconsistent patterns, this ammunition maintains tight shot groups through advanced wad technology and carefully balanced powder charges. The magnum 3-inch shell length provides increased pellet count and higher velocities compared to standard 2.75-inch loads.
