A cartridge designed for pigeon shooting
The Winchester ZZ Pigeon Gen 2 20/70 30g was developed to meet the demands of pigeon and small game shooting. Its 30-gram load produces a dense and consistent shot pattern while maintaining excellent balance in a 20-gauge shotgun. In the field, the crisp trigger pull and consistent accuracy are immediately noticeable.
High speed for quick, responsive shots
With a claimed velocity of 420 m/s , this ammunition offers particularly interesting dynamic performance on fast-moving birds and when shooting at targets on the move. This velocity helps reduce the lead required and improves responsiveness on flat trajectories. This is a significant advantage during sustained passes or instinctive shots.
Skirted wadding for a uniform sheaf
The presence of a wad with a skirt provides better protection for the shot at the start of the shot and contributes to a more consistent shot pattern. This design improves shot concentration at medium range while maintaining controlled dispersion depending on the choke used.
Two lead sizes depending on the use
Available in #5.5 and #7.5 shot sizes, this cartridge allows you to adapt the load to the game being hunted and the shooting distances. The #5.5 shot prioritizes energy and range, while the #7.5 shot provides a denser and faster pattern for close or intermediate shots.
- Socket length: 70 mm
- Use: pigeon and small game
- Projectile type: lead
