Winchester Ammo Lctss1237 Last Call 12Gauge 3" 1 1/4Oz Tungsten 7 Shot 10 Per Box/10 Case
Winchester's Last Call 12-gauge shotgun ammunition delivers the performance waterfowl hunters demand when every shot counts. This 3-inch magnum load pairs tungsten shot with a 1¼-ounce payload and #7 pellet size, engineered to excel in the toughest conditions. Tungsten's density means denser patterns and deeper penetration on distant birds—critical advantages when you're working a flock over decoys or calling birds into range in variable weather.
What sets Last Call apart is the combination of tungsten's inherent ballistic advantage and Winchester's attention to reliability. The sealed wad and primer deliver water resistance that keeps performance consistent in rain, spray, and humid conditions common to marshes and coastal blinds. Whether you're hunting early season or grinding through late-season cold, these shells cycle reliably and pattern predictably shot after shot.
Load these with a light-modified choke or less constriction for the tightest patterns this ammunition is designed to deliver. Tungsten's density allows Winchester to pack more pellets downrange than equivalent steel loads, concentrating shot in the kill zone where it matters. Serious waterfowlers who've switched to tungsten rarely go back—the difference in performance at 40+ yards is tangible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What choke should I use with Last Call tungsten ammunition?
Winchester recommends a light-modified choke or less constriction for optimal pattern performance with this load. Tungsten's density responds differently to choke than steel, so your tuning may differ from what you've used previously—test at your favorite hunting distance to dial in the tightest pattern.
Is this 12-gauge ammo suitable for all waterfowl hunting situations?
The #7 pellet size and 1¼-ounce payload make this load versatile for most waterfowl applications. The tungsten construction provides the range and penetration serious hunters need, but your specific application—distance, species, and conditions—should guide your load selection.
How does tungsten compare to steel for waterfowl?
Tungsten's higher density (18 g/cc in this load) delivers denser patterns with more energy retention downrange. Winchester's specs indicate the tungsten payload generates greater penetration and includes more pellets than equivalent steel loads, which translates to a larger effective kill zone at extended range.
Will these shells perform in wet conditions?
Yes. The sealed wad and primer are designed to resist water and moisture, providing reliable ignition and consistent performance in rain, spray, and high-humidity marsh environments.
