Description
When you're hunting geese in the worst weather nature throws at you, these Winchester loads earn their keep. The 10 gauge has always been the go-to for distance and knockdown power in waterfowl hunting, and Drylok Super Steel gives you a shell built to handle wet, corrosive conditions that would wreck ordinary ammunition.
Drylok Double-Seal Wad Design
The core of these shells is Winchester's proven Drylok system. Instead of a single wad, you get a two-piece design with double seals that trap moisture out and keep the powder absolutely dry. Pair that with a lacquered primer, and you've got ignition you can count on whether you're pulling your gun from flooded blinds or fishing it out of sleet. The heavy magnum shot cup adds another layer of barrel protection while keeping your patterns tight downrange.
Steel Shot That Won't Rust
The 1 5/8 ounce payload packs BBB plated steel shot that resists corrosion and deformation. At 1350 fps, you're getting velocity that carries energy out past 40 yards on geese. The plating keeps the shot round and uniform, which means your patterns stay consistent from box to box. That matters when you're setting up on wary late-season birds.
Built for the Hunt
These are magnum loads in the truest sense. The 3.5 inch hull gives you capacity for both shot volume and propellant charge, but Winchester engineered them to perform, not just to look impressive. Field experience across seasons has proven the Drylok system works, which is why hard-core waterfowlers keep coming back to them. You get 25 rounds per box, enough for solid practice before season or a weekend trip without constant resupply runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Drylok wad system better for wet hunting conditions?
The two-piece double-seal design prevents moisture from reaching the powder charge, and the lacquered primer provides an extra moisture barrier. This combination means your shells fire reliably even when soaked. The double-seal also creates a better gas seal, which keeps your velocity consistent shot to shot.
Is BBB shot better than BB or #2 for geese?
BBB is the largest common steel shot size, giving you fewer but heavier pellets than BB or #2. That means better penetration and energy transfer on big geese at distance. Most experienced waterfowlers use BBB for late-season or pass shooting where you need maximum knockdown on tough birds.
How should I store these shells to protect them from the elements?
The Drylok system already gives you outstanding moisture protection, but store them in a cool, dry place away from extreme heat or humidity. The lacquered primer and plated shot won't rust, so even if conditions aren't perfect, these shells stay reliable for years. A simple ammo can or closed storage box is all you need.
Will these work in my 10 gauge shotgun?
These are 3.5 inch magnum loads, so your shotgun needs to be chambered for 3.5 inch shells. You can find this information stamped on your barrel or in your owner's manual. Since they're steel shot, also verify your shotgun is rated for steel and your choke tubes are steel-shot compatible.
