The Winchester Super-X Dove & Target Steel Blend 12-Gauge load is the ultimate answer for shooters hitting fields and clay courses where lead ammunition is banned. The biggest frustration with switching to steel shot is its lower density compared to lead, which often results in thin patterns, lost downrange energy, and missed targets. Winchester completely solves this ballistic hurdle by engineering a custom, non-toxic blend of #6 and #7 steel shot, giving you the perfect harmony of high pellet count and hard-hitting penetration.
The technical advantage centers on a clever dual-pellet strategy to maximize your hit probability. Smaller #7 steel pellets pack the center of your pattern to ensure a dense, inescapable swarm of shot that easily chips clays and drops fast-moving birds. Meanwhile, the larger #6 steel pellets bring the necessary physical mass to retain kinetic energy farther out, delivering the deep penetration needed for clean, ethical harvests. This entire payload is pushed out of a straight-walled hull by a specialized wad column that guarantees ultra-consistent, uniform patterns with every squeeze of the trigger.
Blasting out of the barrel at a scorching 1,325 FPS, this 1-ounce load flies incredibly fast, dramatically shortening your required lead distance on cross-creek doves or fast-breaking clay targets. It is built with high-quality, clean-burning powders and responsive primers to minimize carbon buildup and keep your action running smoothly. Wrapped in a smooth-feeding, low-brass configuration, this 100-round value pack ensures flawless cycling and positive extraction, whether you are shooting a fast-paced semi-auto or a rugged pump shotgun.
