Winchester® Launches Final Pass™ – Steel Blend Waterfowl Load

CLAYTON, MO (July 09, 2025) — Winchester Ammunition is proud to introduce Final Pass™, featuring a custom blend of plated precision steel shot, with shot sizes carefully crafted for hard-core waterfowl hunters.

Available in 12- and 20-gauge, Final Pass™ shotshells contain a custom blend of #2 ½  and #4 steel shot that has 30% more pellets than a full #2 shot payload. For heavier waterfowl like geese, Final Pass™ is available in a blend of #1 ½ and #BB steel shot that has 25% more pellets than a full BB shot payload. 

“Blended steel loads are extremely effective for waterfowl and provide an excellent combination of performance and affordability,” said Kyle Masinelli, Senior Director of Product Innovation and Strategy for Winchester. “The plated precision steel shot blended with custom half shot sizes makes Final Pass a versatile shotshell that waterfowl hunters can run all season whether chasing early season teal or late season geese.”

Key features of Final Pass™:

  • Blended payload – Features a unique mix of plated precision steel shot sizes to deliver maximum pattern density and devastating energy upon impact
  • Plated precision steel shot – Industry-leading round steel shot flies true and won’t rust – keeping patterns tight and deadly
  • Balanced penetration and pattern density – Half-sized shot improves pellet counts without sacrificing critical penetration
  • Water resistant technology – Double seal wad system and lacquered primer ensure maximum water resistance
