Winchester Ammo WE16GT6A Super X Xpert High Velocity 16 Gauge 2.75" 15/16 oz 1350 fps 6 Shot 25ea

The Winchester Super X Xpert High Velocity 16 gauge shotshell is a steel-shot load built for hunters who want reliable performance in the field without breaking the bank. Loaded to 1350 fps with a 15/16 oz payload of No. 6 shot, these shells deliver consistent energy downrange while staying within the ballistics profile 16 gauge shooters expect. The diamond-cut wad design helps tighten the pattern, giving you more uniform shot placement at distance—critical when you're working waterfowl or upland birds where every pellet counts.

Steel shot opens up new hunting opportunities on water where lead is restricted, and Winchester's Xpert line does the engineering work to keep your effective range competitive. The design philosophy here is straightforward: more uniform energy distribution per pellet means less lead required for a clean hit and better terminal performance on target. Whether you're running a classic side-by-side, a pump, or a semi-auto 16, these shells chamber in standard 2.75" chambers and pack enough velocity to stay effective out to realistic hunting distances.

A 25-round box gives you enough to pattern your gun and work through a solid day afield. These aren't match-grade precision rounds—they're built to be affordable, reliable workhorses for the hunter who knows a 16 gauge's sweet spot and wants ammunition that respects both his gun and his budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these Winchester 16 gauge shells work in my older shotgun?

These are standard 2.75" shells, so they'll chamber in any 16 gauge shotgun rated for 2.75" ammunition. Always verify your gun's chamber length before shooting any shells.

Can I use steel shot ammunition in areas where lead shot is restricted?

Yes—steel shot is required for waterfowl hunting on many waters and in other regulated areas. Check your local hunting regulations to confirm steel shot is legal for your specific hunt.

What's the No. 6 shot size best suited for?

No. 6 shot is a versatile mid-range pellet size commonly used for upland game and waterfowl hunting where the combination of pellet count and individual pellet energy works well at typical hunting distances.

How many rounds come in a box?

Each box contains 25 rounds, giving you enough ammunition for patterning, practice, and a hunting trip.
