The Winchester Super X Heavy Game Load delivers consistent performance for upland hunting with its high brass construction and precise 1-ounce payload. This 28-gauge ammunition combines the proven Super X design with #7.5 shot for effective small game harvesting at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
High brass construction provides 15% more powder capacity than standard loads, generating higher velocities for improved downrange energy. The uniform shot pattern maintains density at distances where standard 28-gauge loads lose effectiveness. Winchester's quality control ensures consistent velocities within 25 fps across the entire production run.
Key Features
- High brass case construction for maximum powder capacity and velocity
- 1-ounce shot payload with #7.5 shot for optimal small game performance
- 2.75-inch shell length fits all standard 28-gauge chambers
- Consistent shot patterns tested at 40 yards for reliable performance
- Clean-burning powder reduces fouling and extends barrel life
- Reliable primer ignition in temperatures from -20°F to 140°F
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing
Field testing demonstrates effective patterns on quail, dove, and woodcock at ranges up to 35 yards. The #7.5 shot size provides sufficient energy for clean kills while minimizing meat damage on small birds. Hunters report consistent cycling in semi-automatic shotguns and reliable extraction in break-action firearms across various weather conditions.
