The Winchester Super X Game Load delivers consistent patterns and reliable performance for upland bird hunting. This high brass 12-gauge shell features a 1-1/4 ounce payload of #4 shot optimized for pheasant and similar-sized game birds.
What Makes This Different
Winchester's high brass construction generates higher velocities than standard loads, providing the energy needed for clean kills on tough birds like pheasants. The #4 shot size strikes the optimal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy, delivering approximately 135 pellets per shell. This configuration produces dense patterns while maintaining sufficient knockdown power at extended ranges typical in pheasant hunting scenarios.
Key Features
- High brass hull construction for increased velocity and energy
- 1-1/4 ounce lead shot payload with approximately 135 pellets
- #4 shot size optimized for pheasant and medium game birds
- 2.75-inch shell length fits all 12-gauge shotguns
- Reliable primer ignition in cold weather conditions
- 25 shells per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
- Consistent crimp and wad design for uniform patterns
Field testing shows these shells maintain effective patterns out to 40 yards, making them suitable for both early season birds over dogs and late season long shots. The high brass construction cycles reliably in semi-automatic shotguns while providing the extra power needed when birds are heavily feathered. Winchester's quality control ensures consistent velocities and minimal flyers that could compromise pattern integrity.
