Winchester Introduces 28 Gauge Ammunition Offerings for Upland and Waterfowl Hunting

Winchester Ammunition announces its new selection of 3-inch, 28-gauge shotshells for upland and waterfowl hunting. The new offerings will be shipping this fall. 

Winchester continues to offer innovative shotshell products for every hunting situation. With the growing interest in sub gauge for hunting and sport shooting, a modern look at the 28-gauge shotshell was an exciting prospect.
