Remington Wingmaster HD 12 Gauge Non-Toxic Tungsten Alloy Shot Ammunition

Remington Wingmaster HD 12 gauge non-toxic tungsten alloy shot ammunition delivers the performance waterfowl hunters need without lead. Built around a tungsten blend that's significantly denser than steel—49% denser, in fact—Wingmaster HD generates the retained energy and pattern density required to anchor birds at distance. If you're hunting in water-protected areas or simply prefer non-toxic loads, this is ammunition engineered to keep you effective in the field.

The tungsten alloy used here sits at 11.6 g/cc density, giving each pellet more mass and momentum downrange than comparable steel loads. That density advantage translates to deeper penetration and more pellets staying in the pattern where it counts. Remington designed these round, true-sized pellets to behave like lead in your chokes—no need to drastically change your shooting or relearn your barrel's response. The material is also considerably softer than other tungsten products on the market, which means your barrel and choke tubes take less punishment over time.

These are 3-inch shells loaded with 1.5 ounces of shot and a muzzle velocity of 1300 fps, offered in a 10-round box. The load is purpose-built for waterfowl hunting where non-toxic ammunition is required or preferred. Whether you're hunting public land that mandates non-lead or you've simply decided to go that route, Wingmaster HD gives you the ballistics and pattern density to hunt with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Wingmaster HD non-toxic and legal for waterfowl hunting?

Yes. Wingmaster HD is a non-toxic tungsten alloy load designed specifically for waterfowl hunting, making it compliant with regulations that prohibit lead ammunition in wetland areas and for migratory bird hunts.

How does tungsten alloy shot compare to steel in terms of performance?

Tungsten alloy is 49% denser than steel, delivering significantly higher retained energy and penetration. Wingmaster HD maintains energy better downrange, allowing for effective patterns at longer distances where steel might lose effectiveness.

Will Wingmaster HD shoot the same as my lead loads?

Remington engineered the pellet shape and charge to provide choke response that simulates lead ammunition, so your existing choke tubes and shooting technique should perform similarly without major adjustments.

Is tungsten alloy softer than other tungsten ammunition?

Yes. Wingmaster HD uses a tungsten blend that is considerably softer than other tungsten-based shotshell products, reducing wear on your barrel and choke tubes over extended shooting sessions.
