Winchester Super X Heavy Game Load 12GA 2.75" 1-1/4oz #8 Shot Shells

The Winchester Super X Heavy Game Load XU12SP8 delivers consistent patterns and reliable performance for upland bird hunting and clay sports. This 12-gauge ammunition features a traditional 2.75-inch hull loaded with 1-1/4 ounces of #8 shot for effective range on small game.

What Makes This Different

The Super X Heavy Game Load utilizes Winchester's proven powder formulations and quality components to achieve consistent velocities shot after shot. Unlike lighter field loads, this 1-1/4 ounce payload provides increased pellet count for denser patterns at extended ranges. The #8 shot size offers the optimal balance of pellet energy and pattern density for birds like quail, dove, and woodcock.

Key Features

• 1-1/4 ounce payload delivers maximum pellet count for dense patterns
• #8 shot provides effective energy transfer on small to medium game birds
• 2.75-inch hull fits all 12-gauge shotguns including 2.75" and 3" chambers
• Consistent powder charge ensures reliable velocities across temperature ranges
• Quality brass-plated steel head prevents extraction issues
• 25 rounds per box with 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing
• Winchester quality control standards maintain shot-to-shot consistency

Field testing shows this load performs effectively on dove, quail, and similar-sized game birds at ranges up to 40 yards. The heavy payload compensates for longer shots while maintaining sufficient pattern density for clean harvests. Clay shooters appreciate the consistent break performance on standard and midi targets. The reliable ignition and consistent velocities make this ammunition suitable for competitive shooting where shot-to-shot uniformity matters.
