Winchester XSV1232 Drylok Super Steel 12GA 3" 1-1/4oz #2 Shot Ammo

The Winchester XSV1232 Drylok Super Steel delivers consistent patterns and reliable ignition for waterfowl hunters demanding maximum performance from their 12-gauge shotgun. This magnum load combines precision-engineered steel shot with advanced wad technology to maintain tight patterns at extended ranges. The Drylok coating provides superior corrosion resistance in harsh wetland conditions.

What Makes This Different

The precision-formed steel shot delivers 15% tighter patterns compared to traditional plated steel, while the advanced hull design withstands the pressures of magnum loads. This combination results in cleaner kills and fewer crippled birds at ranges up to 50 yards.
