Browning Wicked Wing XD 20 Gauge Ammo 3" 1oz #3 Plated Steel Shot - B193412033

The Browning Wicked Wing XD 20-gauge 3" 1 oz #3 Plated Steel load delivers the same high-performance engineering as the 12-gauge Wicked Wing line, now optimized for hunters who prefer a lighter, faster-handling shotgun. Built for dedicated waterfowlers, this 20 gauge ammo combines precision-plated steel shot, Browning’s advanced Wicked Wad technology, and a clean-burning high-velocity propellant to produce consistent, dense patterns and reliable downrange energy. Designed for ducks and geese at medium to long range, this load delivers a muzzle velocity of 1,300 fps, offering dependable knockdown power and performance in wet, demanding field conditions.

Features and Specifications:

• Plated Steel Shot: Precision-plated steel pellets resist corrosion and maintain roundness for uniform flight, resulting in tighter, more consistent patterns across varying weather conditions.
• Wicked Wad Technology: The innovative wad design ensures even shot release through different choke tubes, optimizing pattern density and downrange precision.
• High-Velocity Design: A 1 oz #3 payload exits the muzzle at 1,300 fps, giving hunters faster shot speed and effective energy delivery on fast-moving birds.
• Waterfowl Performance: Engineered to perform in flooded fields, marshes, and cold, wet environments — this load maintains reliable ignition and consistent patterning even after prolonged exposure to moisture.
• Balanced Recoil and Control: The 20-gauge configuration offers reduced recoil while maintaining the power, range, and pellet performance needed for effective waterfowl hunting.
• Packaging Options: Available in 25-round boxes and 250-round cases. Bulk case purchases include free shipping through Target Sports USA.
