Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Drylok Super Steel different from standard steel waterfowl loads?
Winchester's patented Drylok Super Steel Wad creates a sealed system that locks moisture out of the shell, even after prolonged exposure to wet hunting environments. Combined with a lacquered primer, this technology ensures reliable ignition where standard shells might fail. It's engineered specifically for hunters who spend time in swamps, marshes, and flooded fields rather than dry upland settings.
Is 10 gauge steel shot compatible with my shotgun's choke system?
Steel shot requires the use of chokes rated for steel — typically Improved Cylinder or Modified at the tightest. Full chokes are not recommended with steel shot as the rigid pellets can cause dangerous pressure buildup and damage the choke tube. Always verify your shotgun and choke tube manufacturer's guidelines before using steel loads, especially in magnum 3.5" configurations.
How should I store Winchester Drylok Super Steel shells between seasons?
While Drylok shells are designed to resist moisture in the field, proper long-term storage still matters. Store ammunition in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and humidity. A sealed container or ammo can with a desiccant pack is ideal for off-season storage. Avoid storing ammunition in vehicle trunks or outdoor sheds where temperature swings are significant.
