The Winchester Super Pheasant Magnum delivers maximum knockdown power for upland game hunting with its high brass construction and dense #6 shot pattern. This 20-gauge ammunition combines the manageable recoil of the smaller gauge with magnum-level performance that extends effective range on pheasants, grouse, and other upland birds.
What Makes This Different
Winchester's Super Pheasant load features high brass cases that generate higher velocities than standard field loads, pushing the 1-ounce payload at approximately 1,220 feet per second. The magnum powder charge creates 15% more energy than comparable standard loads, translating to harder-hitting performance at extended ranges. Dense #6 shot provides the ideal balance of pellet count and individual pellet energy for clean kills on medium-sized upland game.
Key Features
- High brass magnum construction for maximum velocity and energy
- 1-ounce payload of #6 shot delivers 225+ pellets per shell
- 2.75-inch case length fits all 20-gauge shotguns
- Consistent Winchester powder provides reliable ignition in cold weather
- Heavy-duty plastic hull withstands multiple reloads
- Proven lead shot maintains pattern integrity at longer ranges
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
Field performance demonstrates this ammunition's effectiveness on fast-flying upland birds at ranges extending to 40+ yards. The dense shot pattern maintains sufficient pellet energy for clean harvests while the high brass construction ensures reliable cycling in semi-automatic shotguns. Hunters report consistent patterns and minimal flyers when using modified or improved cylinder chokes for upland hunting scenarios.
