The Winchester Super X Game Load delivers consistent patterns and reliable ignition for upland game hunting. This high brass 12-gauge load features a proven combination of 1-1/4 ounce of #5 shot in a 2.75-inch shell, providing the knockdown power needed for pheasant, grouse, and similar game birds.
What Makes This Different
Winchester's Super X line uses high brass construction that generates higher velocities compared to standard field loads. The 1-1/4 ounce payload delivers 15% more shot than typical 1-1/8 ounce loads, creating denser patterns at extended ranges. Premium components including Winchester's reliable 209 primer and clean-burning powder ensure consistent performance across temperature extremes.
Key Features
- High brass case construction for increased velocity and energy
- 1-1/4 ounce of #5 shot provides optimal pellet count for medium game
- 2.75-inch shell length fits all 12-gauge shotguns
- Winchester 209 primer delivers reliable ignition in all conditions
- Clean-burning powder reduces fouling and residue buildup
- Compression-formed wad ensures consistent shot patterns
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
Field testing shows this load produces tight, even patterns at ranges up to 40 yards, making it effective for both flushing birds and pass shooting. The #5 shot size strikes the balance between pellet energy and pattern density needed for clean kills on medium-sized upland game. High brass construction provides the extra power needed when hunting in windy conditions or when longer shots present themselves.
