The Winchester Drylok Super Steel Magnum delivers consistent waterfowl performance with advanced steel shot technology and weatherproof construction. This 12-gauge ammunition combines precision-engineered steel pellets with Winchester's proven powder systems for reliable ignition in harsh conditions.
What Makes This Different
Drylok technology creates a moisture barrier that prevents powder degradation in wet environments where standard ammunition fails. The steel shot construction meets federal non-toxic requirements while maintaining ballistic performance comparable to traditional lead loads. Winchester's magnum powder charge pushes 1-1/4 ounces of #4 steel shot at velocities that deliver effective energy transfer at extended ranges.
