The Winchester Super X Heavy Game Load delivers consistent patterns and reliable performance for upland bird hunting with 28-gauge shotguns. This high-brass load combines Winchester's proven powder formulation with precision-engineered shot for effective small game harvesting at extended ranges.

What Makes This Different

The Super X Heavy Game Load features Winchester's high-brass construction that generates higher velocities than standard field loads while maintaining manageable recoil in lightweight 28-gauge firearms. The one-ounce shot charge provides significantly more pellets downrange compared to typical 3/4-ounce 28-gauge loads. Winchester's buffered shot design reduces pellet deformation during barrel travel, resulting in tighter patterns and improved penetration on game birds.

Key Features

  • High-brass construction for increased velocity and energy transfer
  • One-ounce shot charge delivers 410 pellets of #8 shot per shell
  • 2.75-inch hull length fits all standard 28-gauge chambers
  • Buffered shot reduces pellet deformation for consistent patterns
  • Winchester 209 primer ensures reliable ignition in all weather conditions
  • Plastic hull construction resists moisture and temperature variations
  • Factory-crimped for consistent chamber pressure and extraction
Field testing shows effective patterns out to 35 yards on quail, dove, and woodcock when fired through improved cylinder or modified chokes. The #8 shot size provides adequate penetration for small upland birds while minimizing meat damage. Hunters report consistent cycling in semi-automatic 28-gauge shotguns and reliable extraction from both break-action and pump-action firearms across temperature ranges from 20°F to 90°F.
