Winchester 12ga Xpert High Velocity 1400fps 1 1/4oz 3" Steel Shot #1 Shot

The Winchester Xpert High Velocity Steel 12 Gauge 3" 1-1/4 oz #1 Shot (model WEX123H1 or similar) is a proven, value-priced non-toxic waterfowl load built for reliable performance on ducks and geese. Part of Winchester's legendary Xpert series, these high-velocity steel shotshells deliver consistent patterns, increased range, and shorter leads—making them a go-to choice for waterfowlers seeking dependable results without premium pricing.

The 1-1/4 oz payload of #1 steel shot (premium corrosion-resistant steel pellets at 7.8 g/cc density) contains approximately 129 pellets, providing excellent penetration and energy transfer on larger, tougher waterfowl like geese, late-season mallards, pintails, or divers. At 1400 fps, this load offers flatter trajectories and more downrange energy than standard-velocity steel, helping you connect on high-flying or distant birds with less lead. The 3" magnum hull fits any 12-gauge shotgun chambered for 3" (or shorter) loads, with clean-burning propellant, reliable non-corrosive primers, and durable construction for consistent ignition in wet, cold, or harsh marsh conditions.

#1 shot strikes a strong balance: larger pellets for deep penetration on big birds, while still delivering solid pattern density and forgiveness for mid-to-long-range shots over decoys, in blinds, flooded timber, or open water.
