Remington Wingmaster HD 12 Gauge shotgun shells deliver superior performance for waterfowl and turkey hunting. These 3 1/2" shells are loaded with 1 3/4 oz of #4 shot, propelled at a velocity of 1300 fps. The tungsten-based shot is 12.0g/cc dense, offering 6% higher density than lead and 49% higher than steel, resulting in deeper penetration and more pellets on target. The round, smooth, true-sized pellets create dense, efficient patterns. Wingmaster HD shells are designed to be nearly as soft as steel, making them easier on barrels and choke tubes compared to other tungsten-based products.
