The Winchester Double X High Velocity Turkey load delivers devastating knockdown power for spring gobbler hunting. This 12-gauge 3.5-inch magnum shell pushes 2 ounces of copper-plated #5 shot at maximum velocities to ensure clean, ethical harvests at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Winchester's Double X technology features copper-plated shot that resists deformation during acceleration, maintaining pellet roundness for superior pattern density. The buffered shot column reduces pellet contact and flattening compared to standard lead loads. High-velocity propellant generates 1300+ fps muzzle velocity, delivering 25% more energy than standard 3-inch turkey loads at typical hunting distances.
Key Features
- Copper-plated #5 shot resists deformation for tighter patterns
- 2-ounce shot charge delivers maximum pellet count downrange
- 3.5-inch magnum case holds premium buffering material
- High-velocity powder generates 1300+ fps muzzle velocity
- One-piece wad design optimizes shot release and pattern consistency
- Brass-plated steel head withstands magnum chamber pressures
- Compatible with all 3.5-inch capable 12-gauge shotguns
Field performance testing shows consistent 40+ yard effective range with proper choke selection. The copper plating maintains pellet integrity through full and extra-full turkey chokes, producing dense core patterns essential for clean head/neck shots. Weather-sealed crimps prevent moisture infiltration during extended hunts. The 2-ounce payload delivers approximately 340 individual pellets per shell.
