Remington Wingmaster HD 12 Gauge shotgun shells deliver superior performance for waterfowl hunting. These 3-inch shells are loaded with 1-1/2 oz of #2 tungsten-blend shot, providing excellent pattern density and deep penetration. With a muzzle velocity of 1300 fps, these shells offer high energy on target and extended effective range. The tungsten-blend shot is 6% denser than lead and 49% denser than steel, resulting in improved lethality. Wingmaster HD shells feature round, smooth, true-sized pellets that create dense, efficient patterns. The shot material is nearly as soft as steel, making it easier on barrels and choke tubes compared to other tungsten-based products.
