Description
WE LOVE LEAD. We’d pour it on our breakfast cereal if we could … but it is kind of … you know … toxic. That’s why some jurisdictions won’t let you use it for hunting upland game. That’s why some ranges don’t permit it on their premises. It’s also why a few folks refuse to fire lead shot on their own property.
rIf you want to hunt upland game or shoot trap without scattering around lead shot, then we have the ideal solution: Winchester Xpert Game & Target series 20 Gauge ammunition! This shell is loaded with #6 steel shot, which is suitable for hunting dove, quail, squirrel, rabbit, and myriad other upland animals. That shot size is also a great pick for rupturing clays. And because it’s specially treated for corrosion resistance, you can count on the steel pellets to remain smooth and sleek enough to deliver the narrow pattern you want regardless of your pursuit.
rThis shell is loaded with a light column of shot. At 3/4 ounces, you’re talking about 236 pellets – about 158 fewer than if you had chosen a 1-1/8 ounce #7.5 lead shot load. On the flip side, Winchester loads this shell to an exceptionally fast muzzle velocity of 1,325 fps. That gives the lower-density steel pellets the push they need to fly flat and strike with commanding energy dozens of yards downrange!
