Frequently asked questions

Is #8 shot appropriate for waterfowl hunting in California?

#8 shot works best for upland birds and clay targets. California waterfowl regulations require non-toxic shot, and #8 may lack sufficient pellet mass for larger waterfowl at typical hunting distances. Check current state waterfowl guidelines for approved shot sizes.

How many pellets does each Winchester XU168 shell contain?

The 1-ounce #8 shot load contains approximately 410 pellets per round. Exact pellet count varies slightly due to natural shot diameter variance, but Winchester maintains consistent loading standards across their production runs.

What is an FFL transfer in California?

An FFL transfer is when a federally-licensed dealer like TacticCAL receives a firearm shipped from another seller and processes California's required DROS paperwork to legally transfer it to you. Find FFL dealer Concord at TacticCAL.
