The Winchester Super X Heavy Game Load delivers consistent patterns and reliable performance for upland bird hunting and clay sports. This high brass 20-gauge shell combines proven powder charges with precision-formed shot for dependable results in the field.
What Makes This Different
The Super X line features Winchester's high brass construction that provides higher velocities compared to standard field loads. Each 2.75-inch shell contains precisely one ounce of #7.5 shot, creating dense patterns ideal for smaller game birds at moderate ranges. The heavy game load designation indicates enhanced powder charges that deliver approximately 1220 fps muzzle velocity, significantly faster than standard 20-gauge field loads.
Key Features
- High brass construction for increased velocity and energy
- One ounce of #7.5 shot provides optimal pellet count for small game
- 2.75-inch shell length fits all standard 20-gauge chambers
- Heavy game load powder charge delivers consistent 1220 fps performance
- Brass-plated steel head prevents extraction issues
- Quality hull construction ensures reliable ejection
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
Field testing demonstrates effective patterns out to 35 yards on quail, dove, and similar-sized game birds. The #7.5 shot size strikes the balance between pellet energy and pattern density needed for clean harvests on fast-flying targets. Clay shooters appreciate the consistent velocities for predictable leads on crossing targets. The high brass design cycles reliably in semi-automatic shotguns while providing comfortable recoil in lighter 20-gauge firearms.
