Winchester Ammo XSV1233 DryLock Super Magnum 12 Gauge 3" 1 1/4 oz 1400 fps 3 Shot 25ea

Winchester DryLock Super Magnum 12 gauge 3" steel shotgun ammunition delivers the reliability duck hunters need when conditions turn ugly. Built for flooded timber, marsh blinds, and wet-weather hunts where moisture exposure is a real concern, these loads feature Winchester's patented moisture-sealing technology to protect your shells from swamp water, rain, and spray. Each round pairs 1 1/4 oz of size 3 steel shot with a 1400 fps muzzle velocity, giving you the pattern and knockdown energy to handle crossing ducks and challenging angles without flinching.

Serious waterfowl hunters know that keeping ammunition dry in a blind isn't always possible—boat spray, high water, and sudden weather happen. DryLock shells are engineered to perform reliably even after exposure, so you can focus on the hunt instead of worrying about your ammo. The 3" magnum case holds more payload than standard 2 3/4" loads, and the velocity is balanced for range and pattern density on working birds. A box of 25 gives you a solid session for opening day or a long weekend in the marsh.

Whether you're running a layout boat in prime duck season or working a timber hole, Winchester DryLock ammunition lets you hunt with confidence when the weather is at its worst. These shells are loaded and ready to cycle through your 3" chamber, giving you one less thing to manage in harsh field conditions.
