Winchester has introduced their new Xtended Range Bismuth shotshells in 3-inch 12-gauge, loaded with 1 5/8 ounces of No. 5 Bismuth shot, at a muzzle velocity of 1,200 fps. The company’s Shot-Lok technology is used to protect the bismuth shot from fracturing, which improves pattern density and increases downrange energy when compared to standard lead loads. Learn more about them in the video embedded above.
