The Winchester Super X Heavy Game Load delivers consistent knockdown power for upland birds and small game hunting. This 28-gauge shell combines Winchester's proven powder formulations with precision-engineered shot patterns to maximize effectiveness at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
The Super X Heavy Game Load features high brass construction that generates higher velocities than standard field loads. Winchester's progressive burning powder creates consistent pressure curves for reliable ignition and uniform shot patterns. The 3/4-ounce payload delivers 25% more shot than typical 28-gauge loads while maintaining manageable recoil characteristics.
Key Features
- High brass shell construction for increased velocity and power
- 3/4-ounce shot charge with #5 shot for optimal penetration
- 2.75-inch shell length fits all standard 28-gauge chambers
- Progressive burning powder for consistent performance
- Precision-formed shot for uniform patterns
- Reliable primer ignition in various weather conditions
- 25 rounds per box with 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
Field testing shows effective range extends to 40 yards on medium-sized game birds like pheasant and grouse. The #5 shot size provides excellent penetration on thick-feathered birds while maintaining sufficient pellet count for clean kills. These loads perform consistently in temperatures ranging from 10°F to 100°F with minimal velocity variation.
