The Winchester Super X XB121 delivers consistent 1 Buck shot performance for hunters and tactical applications requiring reliable stopping power. This 12-gauge load combines Winchester's proven powder technology with precision-manufactured lead pellets for dependable patterns at hunting distances.
What Makes This Different
Winchester's Super X line uses buffered shot technology that reduces pellet deformation during firing, resulting in tighter patterns and improved downrange energy retention. Unlike standard buckshot loads that can produce erratic patterns, the XB121 maintains consistent pellet spacing through carefully controlled powder charges and shot buffering compounds. Each shell contains nine .30-caliber lead pellets that deliver substantial energy transfer on target.
Key Features
- Nine .30-caliber lead pellets per shell for maximum stopping power
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all 12-gauge shotguns including 3-inch chambers
- Buffered shot technology reduces pellet deformation and improves patterns
- High-quality plastic hull with reliable brass-plated steel base
- Consistent 1,325 fps muzzle velocity for predictable ballistics

Field testing demonstrates effective patterns out to 40 yards, making this load suitable for deer hunting in dense cover, home defense applications, and tactical scenarios requiring immediate incapacitation. The moderate recoil characteristics allow for quick follow-up shots while maintaining shooter comfort during extended range sessions. Winchester's quality control processes ensure consistent performance across temperature extremes and extended storage periods.
