The Winchester Super Pheasant X123PH4 delivers maximum knockdown power for upland bird hunting with its magnum 3-inch shell design. This high-brass ammunition combines 1-5/8 ounces of #4 shot with Winchester's proven powder charge for consistent patterns and reliable performance in challenging field conditions.
What Makes This Different
Super Pheasant ammunition features Winchester's magnum loading that generates higher velocities than standard 12-gauge shells. The high-brass construction provides the extra powder capacity needed to propel the heavy 1-5/8 ounce shot charge at optimal speeds. This combination delivers 15-20% more downrange energy compared to standard 2-3/4 inch loads, ensuring clean kills on tough birds like pheasants and grouse at extended ranges.
Key Features
- Magnum 3-inch shell length for maximum powder capacity and velocity
- Heavy 1-5/8 ounce shot payload for dense pattern density
- #4 shot size optimized for medium to large upland game birds
- High-brass hull construction for reliable extraction and feeding
- Winchester's proven powder formulation for consistent velocities
- Fits all 12-gauge shotguns chambered for 3-inch shells
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
Field performance centers on the #4 shot's ability to maintain energy at 40-50 yard ranges where pheasants and other upland birds are typically encountered. The magnum powder charge pushes the shot column at approximately 1,300 feet per second, creating tight patterns that remain effective beyond standard loads. Weather-sealed primers and quality hull construction ensure reliable ignition in wet field conditions and cold temperatures.
