Winchester Super X XB203 delivers consistent 3 Buck shot performance for 20-gauge shotguns in hunting and home defense applications. This 2.75-inch shell contains 20 pellets of .25-caliber buckshot, providing effective stopping power at moderate ranges with manageable recoil.
What Makes This Different
The Super X line features Winchester's proven hull construction and reliable primer ignition system, engineered for consistent velocity and pattern density. Unlike standard field loads, this 3 Buck configuration balances pellet count with individual projectile energy, creating tighter patterns than larger buckshot while maintaining sufficient penetration. The 2.75-inch length ensures compatibility with all 20-gauge chambers, including older guns that cannot accommodate 3-inch magnum shells.
Key Features
- 20 pellets of .25-caliber (3 Buck) shot for optimal pattern density

Field testing demonstrates effective patterns out to 25 yards, making this load suitable for close-range hunting of medium game and personal protection scenarios. The moderate recoil characteristics allow for faster follow-up shots compared to heavier 20-gauge loads. Winchester's quality control ensures consistent muzzle velocity and reliable feeding in semi-automatic shotguns.
