Browning Wicked Blend Features Browning built the Wicked Blend around a dual-metal payload that pairs precision round steel with precision round bismuth stacking two shot sizes 3 and 5 into a single load for broader pattern coverage on incoming birds. The 30 percent bismuth fraction adds density that steel alone cannot match helping pellets retain energy downrange for more decisive hits on ducks and geese. The purpose-built Wicked Wad manages the mixed-density payload through the barrel and out to the pattern controlling shot stringing so pellets arrive on target together. This engineered combination gives waterfowlers a meaningful step up in terminal performance over a straight steel shell. At 1450 fps the heavier 1-1/4 oz payload moves with authority giving 12 GA shooters extra reach on high-flying geese and late-season ducks that have grown wary of decoys. The 25-round box and 3 inch chamber length make this load a natural fit for full-size 12 GA waterfowl guns run over spreads or on pass-shooting hunts. Browning s ammunition division applies the same engineering discipline to shotshells that the company is known for in its firearms so hunters can expect consistent performance load to load. For hunters who want more from their 12 GA setup than a straight steel shell can deliver the Wicked Blend provides a genuine performance advantage.
