Browning Wicked Wing XD 12 Gauge Ammunition 3" 1 1/4oz #3 Plated Steel Shot - B193411233
The Browning Wicked Wing XD 12-gauge 3" 1¼ oz #3 Plated Steel load is crafted for waterfowl hunters who demand consistent performance, long-range accuracy, and reliable function in unforgiving environments. This 12 gauge ammo is engineered with precision-formed, plated steel shot that maintains its roundness and aerodynamic balance to produce tighter patterns and dependable impact energy on ducks and geese. The plated steel resists corrosion in wet conditions, while the high-velocity design (rated at 1,450 fps) extends effective range and reduces lead time. Enhanced with Browning’s Wicked Wad technology, this waterfowl ammo delivers exceptional pattern uniformity through a variety of choke designs, making it an all-weather performance built.

- Built for Harsh Environments: Corrosion-resistant components and clean-burning propellant deliver consistent ignition, even during long, wet hunts.
