Browning BXD Waterfowl 20 Gauge 3" 1oz Non-Toxic Steel Shot Ammunition

The Browning BXD Waterfowl 20 Gauge 3" 1oz Non-Toxic Steel Shot Ammunition is purpose-built for duck and goose hunters who need reliable, legal steel shot in a compact gauge. Whether you're working shallow marshes, ponds, or coastal flats with a lighter-recoiling 20-gauge setup, BXD delivers the non-toxic performance that satisfies federal and state regulations while keeping your shoulder happier than full-bore 12-gauge loads. This is the round for hunters who've chosen the 20 for its balance of ballistics and shooter comfort.

Steel shot requires a different mindset than lead—tighter patterns, harder hitting, and respect for your barrel's steel rating. The 1-ounce payload here is calibrated for 20-gauge geometry, giving you effective range on waterfowl without the overkill of heavier 12-gauge slugs. These rounds come in boxes of 25, so you can stock up for a season of hunting or break them into practice and field loads.

Browning's ammunition has been trusted by hunters for generations, and their waterfowl line reflects that heritage—clean-burning powders, consistent primers, and hull quality that won't jam your semi-auto or frustrate your pump gun. The 3" chamber length is standard for modern 20-gauge shotguns, but always verify your gun's chamber before loading.
