The Winchester Super Pheasant X123PH5 delivers maximum knockdown power for upland game hunting with its magnum-loaded 3-inch shell design. This high-brass ammunition combines 1-5/8 ounces of #5 shot with Winchester's proven powder charge for consistent patterns and reliable harvests in challenging field conditions.
What Makes This Different
Super Pheasant ammunition features Winchester's magnum loading that generates higher velocities than standard field loads, extending effective range by 10-15 yards. The high-brass construction provides consistent ignition and reliable extraction in semi-automatic shotguns. Premium shot quality maintains pellet roundness for tighter patterns and deeper penetration on tough birds like roosters and late-season pheasants.
