Winchester XSV1233 Drylok Super Steel 12GA 3" 1-1/4oz #3 Shot

The Winchester XSV1233 Drylok Super Steel delivers consistent waterfowl performance with advanced steel shot technology. This 12-gauge magnum load combines precision-engineered steel pellets with Winchester's proven Drylok Super Steel system for reliable ignition in wet conditions. Hunters targeting ducks and geese benefit from the enhanced velocity and pattern density of this premium waterfowl ammunition.

What Makes This Different

Drylok Super Steel technology creates a moisture barrier that prevents misfires in harsh weather conditions where standard primers fail. The advanced wad design maintains tighter shot patterns at extended ranges compared to conventional steel loads. Each hull features Winchester's AA compression-formed construction for consistent chamber pressure and reliable ejection across semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns.

Key Features

• Drylok Super Steel primer system prevents moisture-related misfires
• 1-1/4 ounce payload of precision #3 steel shot for medium waterfowl
• 3-inch magnum hull generates 1,400 fps muzzle velocity
• Advanced wad design maintains pattern integrity to 50+ yards
• Compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns rated for 3-inch shells
• Non-toxic steel shot meets federal waterfowl hunting requirements

Field testing demonstrates effective knockdown power on mallards, pintails, and small Canada geese at ranges up to 45 yards. The #3 shot size provides optimal penetration for medium-sized waterfowl while maintaining sufficient pellet count for consistent patterns. Semi-automatic shotguns cycle reliably with the consistent pressure curve, while the moisture-resistant primer ensures ignition in rain, snow, and high humidity conditions.
