Product Details
The Winchester Defender 12 Gauge 2.75" 1-1/8 oz #2 Shot is a purpose-built defensive shotshell engineered for close-range home-defense scenarios. Loaded with approximately 100 copper-plated lead pellets, this shell delivers a significantly denser payload than standard 00 buckshot loads while reducing the risk of excessive penetration — a critical consideration in home-defense environments. Each shell achieves a muzzle velocity of 1,145 fps, striking an effective balance between terminal performance and manageable recoil.
