10 Rounds of 1 1/2 ounce BB shot 12ga Ammo by Winchester

Don’t read “BB shot” and assume that this is a waterfowl hunting load. This 12 Gauge Varmint-X shotshell by Winchester features lead BB shot – not steel – and it is specifically designed for turning varmints into yesterday’s news.

This 3” shell’s huge 1-1/2 ounce shot column is special for a couple of reasons. First, its shot pellets are copper-plated, which equips them to avert deformation that could have weakened pattern efficiency or limited penetration depth. But Winchester’s revolutionary Shot-Lok Technology makes the shot column look even stranger – as if it is suspended in clear gelatin, no less! That material is hard resin, which becomes pulverized by ignition so it can buffer the shot pellets and even further preserve them against deformation. The result speaks for itself, as this shell consistently puts 50 percent more pellets through a 10” circle at 40 yards than a conventional 12ga lead shot load can manage.

This round’s 1,300 fps muzzle velocity and heavyweight shot column are poised to treat you to a little more recoil than a target load would accustom you to. But when your goal is to knock down varmints, coyote and other predators, this tight-patterning and powerful shotshell truly delivers the goods!
