“Winchester is a leader in technology and these two new personal defense rounds are the most innovative shotshell products available today,” said Brett Flaugher, Winchester Ammunition vice president of sales and marketing. “Both shotshell loads achieved excellent results in our test facility and we are extremely excited to offer them to our customers.”
