The Winchester Super Pheasant Magnum delivers maximum knockdown power for upland birds with its heavy 1-3/8 ounce payload and high-velocity performance. This premium 12-gauge load combines Winchester's proven magnum powder charge with precision-formed shot to extend effective range beyond standard field loads.
What Makes This Different
The Super Pheasant Magnum generates 15% more energy than standard 1-1/4 ounce loads through its heavy shot charge and magnum powder formulation. Winchester's high brass construction provides consistent ignition and reliable extraction across all weather conditions. The 1-3/8 ounce payload maintains dense patterns at extended ranges where lighter loads lose effectiveness.
Key Features
- Heavy 1-3/8 ounce shot charge for maximum energy transfer
- High brass hull construction for reliable extraction and reloading
- Premium #6 shot size optimized for pheasant and larger upland birds
- Magnum powder charge delivers consistent velocities in all temperatures
- 2.75-inch shell length fits all 12-gauge shotguns
- Factory-crimped for uniform ballistics and feeding reliability
- 25 rounds per box with 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
Field testing demonstrates effective patterns beyond 45 yards with modified choke tubes, extending the ethical shooting range for challenging upland situations. The heavy shot charge maintains energy through thick cover and windy conditions that deflect lighter loads. Hunters report clean kills on late-season roosters and other tough birds that require maximum stopping power.
