Duck hunters who shoot over decoys need a steel duck load they can count on all season, and buying by the case means you are not scrambling for shells before opening day. The Winchester Super-X Xpert High Velocity 12 gauge 2-3/4 inch 1-1/8 oz #4 Steel Shot (MPN WEX12H4) comes in a 250 round case, enough to cover a full waterfowl season plus some pre-season patterning and sporting clays practice.
The key feature of this load is its combination of speed and non-toxic steel shot. Winchester rates the Xpert High Velocity load at 1,400 fps, which helps pellets reach crossing and incoming birds with less lead on the swing. The 1-1/8 oz payload of #4 steel shot gives a dense pattern with a high pellet count, a popular choice for mid-sized ducks working into the decoys. Because steel shot is non-toxic, these shells are legal where lead shot is prohibited for waterfowl, which covers federal migratory bird hunting.
These 12 gauge steel shells fit any 12 gauge shotgun with a 2-3/4 inch or longer chamber, including pump actions and semi-autos commonly used in the duck blind. They are best suited to hunting ducks over decoys at typical decoy distances, and many hunters also use them to pattern new chokes before the season. If you hunt waterfowl several times a year or supply shells for a group of hunters, a 250 round bulk case of Winchester Xpert #4 steel duck loads is a cost effective way to stock up once and be ready for every hunt.
Each shell is new production, not reloads, made in the USA by Winchester. The shells use a plastic hull with a metal base and a battery cup primer. Each 2-3/4 inch 12 gauge shell holds a 1-1/8 oz charge of #4 steel shot. The factory case contains 10 boxes of 25 rounds for a total of 250 shells, packaged by Winchester for easy storage in the truck, the boat or the gun room.
