When you're sitting in a blind waiting for ducks and the rain won't let up, these shells perform when it counts. The Winchester Drylok Super Steel 20-gauge load pairs a full ounce of #2 plated steel shot with patented water-resistance technology to handle wet conditions that would compromise other ammunition.
The key to these shells' reliability in moisture is the two-piece double seal wad design that maximizes water resistance while maintaining consistent velocity shot after shot. A lacquered primer works alongside this system to keep powder dry, preventing the swelling and misfires that happen when shells absorb water. This combination makes them dependable in flooded timber, swamps, and during prolonged rain.
The #2 steel pellets are plated to resist corrosion, and the heavy wad design protects your gun's barrel while tightening patterns for longer-range work. At 1330 fps, this 3-inch magnum load sits in a sweet spot for 20-gauge duck hunting, offering enough velocity for decent reach without excessive recoil. Real-world testing shows these shells pattern well enough to put birds in your boat out to reasonable distances when you're shooting modern chokes.
Each box holds 25 rounds packed in Winchester's quality-focused assembly. Whether you're hunting from a john boat, wading through marsh grass, or spending a full day in a duck blind, these shells are engineered to stay functional in the worst conditions waterfowl season throws at you.
Yes, the patented Drylok wad system is specifically designed to resist water absorption that can cause swelling and misfires. The lacquered primer works with the two-piece double seal wad to keep your powder dry, making these shells more reliable when you're in extended wet conditions like rain-soaked blinds or flooded timber.
Number 2 steel shot works well for larger ducks like mallards, pintails, and diving ducks when hunting from a 20 gauge, especially at moderate ranges. For smaller ducks like teal, #4 or #3 shot is often a better choice, but if you're targeting bigger birds, #2 is your right call in a 20-gauge 3" load.
Pattern performance depends on your choke and gun, but field testing shows these shells produce solid, consistent patterns with proper choke selection. Most waterfowl hunters report good results using improved cylinder or light modified chokes with these loads, with effective ranges out to 35-40 yards.
Steel shot in general requires some consideration, but these shells are engineered to minimize wear. The heavy wad design in the Drylok system protects your barrel, and modern 20-gauge shotguns handle steel without issue. Older or tighter-choked guns may show more wear, so if you have a vintage gun, check with a gunsmith first.
