250rds – 12 Gauge Winchester Xpert Game & Target 2-3/4" 1oz. #6.5 Steel Shot Ammo Details

All the benefits of steel shot – none of the drawbacks. It’s Winchester’s Xpert Game & Target line of 12 Gauge ammunition!

This shotshell is loaded with one ounce of #6.5 steel shot (0.105” diameter pellets). We all know steel is susceptible to corrosion, which can roughen shot pellets’ exteriors and cause them to pattern inefficiently. That’s why Xpert steel is specially treated to resist becoming corroded!

Steel is not as dense as lead, which means a steel shot pellet can possess too little momentum downrange to produce the desired result. But this shell’s shot pellets are larger those typically used for trap, sporting clays and upland game, and its hot 1,325 fps muzzle velocity gives the more massive shot pellets even more long-range potency.

Steel is much harder than lead, but this shell doesn’t let its shot scratch up a bore. Its thick wad puts an effective barrier between the barrel and the shot column, and it is additionally hinged to take the edge off felt recoil. Throw in Winchester’s high-quality powder, primers and reloadable hulls, and you’ve got the perfect solution for compliant and environmentally friendly training and hunting!
