The Browning Wicked Wing XD 12 gauge ammo is a steel-shot waterfowl load built for hunters who need to reach birds at serious distances. At 3 inches, 1 1/4 ounces, and 1450 fps, this ammunition combines high velocity with a heavy payload of 2 shot to deliver the pattern density and energy needed on ducks and geese when they're working the far edges of your range. Each box contains 25 rounds of ammunition ready for the blind.
The engineering here starts with the shot itself: Browning uses plated round steel pellets that hold their hardness and shape through the barrel and downrange. The real innovation, though, is the wad. A purpose-built long-range wad design manages the shot column to maximize pattern efficiency and energy retention—two things that matter far more at 40+ yards than they do at 25. The result is a load that penetrates like it should and keeps its effective reach when other ammo starts to string and spread.
Wicked Wing XD loads have earned respect in serious waterfowl circles because they perform when conditions are tough: late-season birds, high-altitude hunts, and those moments when a flock cups up just out of normal shotgun range. If you're hunting with steel shot and you want the ballistics to match your effort and patience, this is the load to lean on.

This load is loaded with 2 shot, a versatile steel-shot size effective on both ducks and geese. The 1 1/4 ounce payload and high velocity make it especially suitable for long-range hunting scenarios.
Steel shot is required by law for waterfowl hunting in most U.S. jurisdictions. Always verify your shotgun is rated for steel shot and check the chamber for the correct 3-inch length before loading. Consult your firearm's manual if you are unsure.
The optimized long-range wad separates cleanly from the shot column and is designed to manage pellet spread at distance, maintaining tighter, more consistent patterns than standard waterfowl loads—critical when birds are at the edge of your gun's effective range.
Each box contains 25 rounds of loaded ammunition, ready to load into your shotgun.
