A 410 revolver or shotgun kept for home defense needs a load designed for close range stopping power, not a light birdshot shell. This listing is Winchester PDX1 Defender 410 bore 3 inch ammunition, MPN S413PDX1, sold as a 100 round case. Each shell combines two kinds of projectiles, and buying by the case lets you pattern your gun, practice with the same load you keep staged, and still have plenty on hand for the nightstand or the truck.
What sets PDX1 Defender apart is its combination payload. Each 3 inch shell carries four plated Defense Discs stacked on top of sixteen plated BBs, with Grex buffering in the shot column. The discs are designed to hit together with authority at close range, while the BBs spread to add more hits on target from a single trigger pull. Winchester rates this load at 750 fps, a velocity tuned for short barrels and revolvers like the Taurus Judge and Smith and Wesson Governor. That design is why PDX1 is one of the best known 410 home defense loads.
This ammunition is made for 410 revolvers such as the Taurus Judge and S&W Governor and for 410 shotguns with 3 inch chambers. It is a 3 inch shell, so your firearm must be chambered for 3 inch 410 shells; it will not fit a gun chambered only for 2-1/2 inch shells. It suits homeowners and rural shooters who want a manageable recoil defensive option. Always pattern a new defensive load in your own firearm, and the 100 round case gives you enough shells to do that and keep a supply ready.
Winchester PDX1 Defender S413PDX1 is made in the USA and is new production ammunition, not reloads. Each shell uses a plastic hull with a metal base and a battery cup primer, and the load is non-corrosive. The payload is four plated Defense Discs and sixteen plated BBs in a 3 inch 410 bore shell. This case comes in factory packaging as 10 boxes of 10 rounds for a total of 100 rounds.
