The Winchester Xpert High Velocity Steel 12 Gauge 2-3/4" 1-1/16 oz BB Shot (model WEX12BB or similar) is a fast, affordable non-toxic waterfowl load built for reliable performance on ducks and geese. Part of Winchester's proven Xpert series, these high-velocity steel shotshells offer increased range, shorter leads, and solid downrange energy—ideal for waterfowlers seeking dependable results at a great value.
The 1-1/16 oz payload of BB corrosion-resistant steel shot (premium steel pellets at 7.8 g/cc density) contains roughly 100–110 pellets (exact count varies slightly by batch), delivering excellent penetration and knockdown power on larger, tougher birds like geese, mallards, pintails, or divers. At a blistering 1550 fps, this load provides flat trajectories and more energy than standard-velocity steel, helping you connect on high-flying or distant targets with less lead. The 2-3/4" hull fits any standard 12-gauge shotgun (no magnum chamber required), with clean-burning propellant, reliable non-corrosive primers, and durable construction for consistent ignition in wet, cold, or harsh marsh conditions.
BB shot (large size) excels for bigger waterfowl at moderate to longer ranges—offering strong penetration while maintaining usable pattern density through standard or ported waterfowl chokes.
