    Winchester ''Defender'' .410 Shotshells

    In a recent shipment of Ammunition, we had some Winchester "Defender" .410 ammo arrive. They contain 3 large pellets, and 12 small pellets behind them. The specs are as follows:

    Length: 2 1/2"

    Velocity: 750 fps

    Load: 3 large plated lead discs, followed by 12 plated small pellets.

    a fairly unorthodox, yet interesting shotshell.

    The price for a box (10 shotshells) is $23.99 plus any applicable taxes and shipping costs.

    Is it sold out?
    A link would be nice. I scrolled through the long list of 12ga without any luck.

    Hello,

    The Ammo hasn't sold out just yet, we still have 30 boxes of 10 left.

    As specified in the post these are .410 gauge, not 12 gauge, so they woud be in with the .410 ammunition.

    Here is a link to the ammo:

    Thanks.

    Followed the link and got my order in. FYI, the link indicated the Defender ammo is located in hunting/shooting accessories, not hunting/ammunition. I can't find it by searching the site, or by browsing the Winchester ammo.

    Cheers,

    Not unorthodox at all.

    These rounds knock down turkeys and coyotes like the "Hammer of Thor" out to 25 yards.

    I would expect they would work on two legged predators doing a home invasion as well.

    Thanks for the link!

    Maybe your website is better on a computer but on my mobile it leaves to be desired.
    I mentionned 12ga but I was in the shotshell section. That's where 410ga ammo should have been but there was none. Searching 410 or defender didn't bring it either. Sadly doesn't motivate me to do more shopping on your website.
