BXD Waterfowl Extra Distance is launched at high velocities utilizing an optimized long-range wad and plated round steel shot. Combining round steel with a cutting edge wad design results in a lethal combination of energy retention, penetration and pattern density that is critical in achieving long-range performance. Browning waterfowl uses plated rounded steel-shot fired at high with an optimized long range wad. Energy retention and pattern density - every waterfowl hunter wants more and this is it. You won't go home empty handed. High velocity - reduces lead and allows for maximum downrange energy Focused energy deposit - BXD provides that extra distance you strive for and can expect from the best there is in waterfowl ammunition Premium-plated round steel - resists deformation to maintain high velocity downrange for deep penetration Aerodynamically stabilized wad - improves downrange patterns, putting more pellets on target
