Description
Slug And Buckshot In One
Winchester PDX1 is a 12-gauge personal-defense load from the Defender line. Each shell carries two kinds of projectile: a 1 oz rifled slug with three 00 buckshot pellets stacked on top of it. One trigger pull sends a heavy single projectile and a small group of large pellets downrange together. It is built for shotgun owners who keep a gun for home and family protection and want a single load that covers both jobs.
Features
- 1 oz Rifled Slug — A solid one-ounce slug with angled ribs on its sides, a design intended for firing through standard smoothbore shotgun barrels.
- Three 00 Buckshot Pellets — Three double-ought pellets, one of the largest common buckshot sizes, ride ahead of the slug in the same shell.
- Buffered Payload — Fine granular buffer fills the space around the pellets, cushioning them under firing pressure.
- 12 Gauge, 2-3/4 Inch Shell — Standard 2-3/4 in length suits the chamber of most 12-gauge pump and semi-auto shotguns.
- 1150 FPS Velocity — The load is rated at 1150 feet per second.
- Black Hull — The distinctive black hull keeps PDX1 easy to tell apart from birdshot or target loads in a mixed ammo drawer.
- 10 Rounds Per Box — Each box holds ten shotshells, enough to fill a tube magazine and a side saddle with some left for test firing.
- Made In USA — Loaded by Olin Winchester in East Alton, Illinois.
Fit And Chamber Length
These are 2-3/4 in shells, so they chamber in any 12-gauge shotgun marked for 2-3/4 in or longer shells, including guns chambered for 3 in. Check the marking on your barrel before loading. Because a slug and buckshot leave the muzzle together, patterns vary by gun and choke, so run a few rounds through your own shotgun at realistic indoor distances before you rely on it.

Must have ChangedThe PDX1 12 ga ammo I have is what I keep in my tactical shotgun. It is not constructed the way they are described. Mine have 3 copper colored discs underneath 6 buckshot. I can say that they were fine in the 3 disc configuration but maybe someone else did not think so. I could see where a slug may have better knockdown power without a doubt but the 3 disc would also cause quite a bit of damage to whatever it hit. This is the first time I have ever reviewed a item to state differences in the ones I have as opposed to the ones available for purchase. It's a mystery to me. My ratings are based on the PDX 1 I have. I do have some German shells that are like your description and they have good knockdown stay down power with the slug and buckshot.
