Steel shot construction for wet weather

DryLok technology keeps moisture away from powder and primer, critical for hunters working marshes and coastal zones. The 3.5" magnum case holds 1.5 ounces of #2 steel shot, generating velocity and energy suitable for longer-range waterfowl work.

Frequently asked questions

What does #2 shot size mean for waterfowl hunting?

#2 steel shot sits between #1 and #3, offering a balance of pellet count and individual pellet energy. It's effective on ducks and geese at moderate to extended ranges, with enough knockdown without excessive pattern loss.

Are 3.5" shells necessary for all shotguns?

No. Check your shotgun's chamber marking—it will read 2.75", 3", or 3.5". Using the correct length prevents damage and ensures reliable cycling. DryLok comes in multiple lengths to match your gun.
