The Winchester Super X Magnum Turkey 12 Gauge delivers maximum knockdown power for spring gobbler season with copper-plated shot that maintains pattern integrity at extended ranges. This 2.75-inch shell packs 1.5 ounces of #5 shot for dense patterns that put birds down cleanly.
What Makes This Different
The copper plating on each pellet reduces deformation during barrel travel, creating tighter patterns and deeper penetration compared to standard lead shot. Winchester's magnum powder charge pushes the 1.5-ounce payload to higher velocities while the buffered shot column prevents pellet damage. This combination delivers 15-20% better pattern density than non-plated alternatives at 40+ yard ranges.
Key Features
- Copper-plated #5 shot resists deformation for consistent patterns
- 1.5-ounce payload provides maximum pellet count per shell
- 2.75-inch magnum load fits standard 12-gauge chambers
- Buffered shot column prevents pellet flattening during firing
- High-velocity powder charge for flat trajectory
- Brass-plated steel head for reliable extraction
- 10-round box packaging for season-long supply
Field performance shows effective patterns out to 45 yards on mature gobblers, with pellet energy sufficient for clean kills at maximum ethical ranges. The magnum load maintains velocity better than standard turkey loads, reducing lead requirements on crossing shots. Weather-sealed primer and crimp prevent moisture penetration during wet spring conditions.
