What is the shot pellet count in Winchester Drylok XSM12L2 rounds?

Each round contains 1 9/16 ounces of #2 steel shot. The exact pellet count varies slightly by weight and pellet diameter, but you're looking at roughly 170–180 pellets per shell for effective pattern density.

Can I use these 3.50" magnum shells in a standard 12-gauge shotgun?

No. Your shotgun must be specifically rated for 3.50" magnum shells. Check your barrel marking or manual first. Using oversized ammunition in an incompatible gun creates dangerous pressure and potential damage.
