Winchester is once again expanding their ammunition lines by offering the new Blind Side shotgun ammunition in 12 and 20 gauge in their high velocity 22 line. With up to 15% more pellets per shell, it idea is that it increases the kill zone by putting more pellets in the air at a higher velocity. Their hexagonal shot allows for more pellets to be packed into a shotgun shell. 22
New for 2014 is the high velocity line of Blind Side shells, meaning shorter leads for wing shooters. EAST ALTON, Ill. (March 5, 2014) Hunters across North America have experienced firsthand what true innovation means in waterfowl ammunition ever since Winchester Ammunition developed the Blind Side line. In 2014, Winchester Ammunition will expand its high velocity lineup with new offerings in both 12 and 20 gauge. Higher velocities mean shorter 22 leads are necessary 22 for fast-flying waterfowl, said Brett Flaugher, Winchester Ammunition vice president of marketing, sales and strategy. We want to give the consumer what they want, and that s why we re expanding this popular waterfowl load.
For 2014, the new Blind Side ammunition will be offered in the following gauges, shell lengths 22 and shot sizes: Blind Side ammunition combines ground-breaking, stacked HEX Shot technology and the Diamond Cut Wad in the most deadly Winchester waterfowl load available. The HEX Shot pellets, shaped much like dice, literally stack together inside the shell, resulting in up to 15 percent more pellets in every shell.

Loaded with 100 percent HEX Shot, hunters get more pellets on target, a larger kill zone and more trauma-inducing pellets than ever before meaning quick kill shots. The shot is designed to hit waterfowl like high-velocity tumbling bricks preventing over penetration and maximizing energy deposit and knockdown 22 shock within the bird. With a company heritage dating back to 1866, Winchester Ammunition was there for the taming of the American West, the Allied 22 Forces victory in World War II and through the years, millions of fond memories made in the great outdoors. Known as The American Legend , Winchester is a global leader in sporting, law enforcement, military and personal defense ammunition production. Winchester continues to raise the bar with new products like Long Beard XR turkey and Defender personal defense ammunition.
I wonder how well the HEX shot pellets retain velocity as opposed to their more conventional spherical counterparts, high velocity at the muzzle does not necessarily translate into a shorter time to target.
I can’t prove it but instinctively 22 I’d say that the drag on the flat areas will make these shot fly corner 22 forward.. Anyway, yep, probably they will slow down a faster… 22 I’d 22 love to see how the manufacture these shells, both making of the shots and stacking might have required 22 a good deal of engineering 22 (and investment in machinery as well).
I don’t understand why no one makes aerodynamic pellets. As in spitzer shaped, 22 you might fit less in the shell but they would retain velocity 22 longer and go faster (bonus points if you make them red, since the red ones go faster).
