Description
If you're hunting with a .410, you need ammunition that makes those pellets count. Winchester's Xpert line gives you steel shot in a high-velocity package that actually performs. At 1400 fps, this load pushes the 3/8 oz charge of #6 steel pellets with enough velocity to maintain pattern density and energy through close-range hunting.
The steel shot here is specially treated for corrosion resistance, which matters when you're shooting in wet conditions or storing shells in your truck. That coating keeps the pellets from degrading so they fly straight in consistent patterns shot after shot. Winchester engineered thicker wad segments into these shells too, which protects your barrel and helps deliver those reliable patterns you need when the opportunity shows up.
Winchester Xpert Steel for Upland and Small Game
This load shines for what the .410 does best: close-range work on upland birds, squirrels, rabbits, and small game hunting. The #6 shot size balances pellet count with penetration, giving you the pattern density to hit small, fast-moving targets without wasting energy on oversized shot. At ranges where you'd actually hunt with a .410 (under 30 yards), this load performs.
Value-Oriented Non-Toxic Performance
You get 25 rounds per box, and the cost per round keeps you shooting all day at the range or in the field. The non-toxic steel shot means these shells work anywhere you need to comply with lead-free ammunition requirements. Winchester's Super-X name means you're getting their time-tested shotshell design—this isn't bargain-basement ammo that cuts corners on reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What game is the Winchester Xpert .410 #6 steel shot best for?
This load works well for upland birds like grouse and quail, plus small game like squirrels and rabbits when you can get close. The #6 shot size and 3/8 oz payload give you decent pattern density for these targets at close range. It's also popular for clay target shooting where you have a controlled distance. Keep your shots under 30 yards for the best results.
Will Winchester Xpert steel shot damage my older .410 shotgun?
Steel shot is harder than lead, but Winchester's Xpert shells use engineered wad segments designed to protect your barrel. As long as your shotgun is safe to shoot (check with the manufacturer if you're uncertain), these shells won't cause damage. Just make sure your gun is actually rated for shotshells—some older guns might have limitations worth checking on.
How many pellets does the Winchester Xpert .410 #6 load contain?
The 3/8 oz of #6 steel shot contains approximately 118 pellets. Steel pellets are less dense than lead, so you get fewer pellets in the same amount of weight. That's why the 1400 fps velocity is important—it gives those pellets the energy needed to perform on game.
Can I use Winchester Xpert steel shot where lead shot is restricted?
Yes, the steel shot construction makes these shells compliant with non-toxic shot regulations. This is a genuine advantage if you hunt areas with lead-free ammunition requirements. Always double-check your specific hunting location to be sure, but these shells are built to meet federal and state lead-free standards.
