The Remington Wingmaster HD 12 Gauge 3" shotshell delivers exceptional performance for waterfowl hunting. Featuring 1 1/4 oz of #2 shot, this load utilizes an 11.6g/cc tungsten blend that's 6% denser than lead and 49% denser than steel. This results in higher retained energy, excellent patterns, and deeper penetration. The round, smooth, true-sized pellets create dense, efficient patterns. With a muzzle velocity of 1450 fps, these shells offer the ideal combination of pellet energy and pattern density for taking down waterfowl at extended ranges.
