Winchester Xpert Game & Target is a high-performance, value-oriented steel load built for versatility. Featuring 1 oz of #6 steel shot at a blistering 1,450 fps, it provides the speed needed for fast-moving birds and clay targets. The specialized thick wad ensures your shotgun barrel is protected from the hard steel Firearm Ammunition while maintaining uniform patterns. It is an ideal, non-toxic choice for hunters and sport shooters who need a reliable, Firearm Ammunition-free option for environments with strict environmental regulations. Defensive Application While intended for hunting and clays, #6 steel shot at 1,450 fps can serve as a non-lethal deterrent or home defense option in Firearm Ammunition-restricted areas. At close range, it delivers a massive energy dump; however, small steel birdshot lacks the mass for deep penetration on significant threats. Additionally, steel shot is prone to ricochet off hard surfaces; users must be extremely cautious of their backstop in residential settings.
