Winchester Ammo X203PH6 Super Pheasant Magnum High Brass 20 Gauge 3" 1 1/4 oz 1250 fps 6 Shot 25ea

The Winchester Super Pheasant Magnum is a 20-gauge, 3-inch shotshell built for hunters who want reliable, hard-hitting performance when pursuing pheasant and other upland game. This high-brass load combines a full 1¼ oz copper-plated lead shot payload with Winchester's engineered wad system to deliver consistent patterns downrange. At 1250 fps, it brings the energy needed to cleanly drop birds at the distances typical upland hunting demands—without requiring the larger 12-gauge recoil.

Copper plating on the lead shot resists deformation as pellets travel through the barrel and open air, which means more of your pattern stays tight and effective where it counts. The engineered wad design is the quiet workhorse of shotshell performance; it releases your shot column consistently, shot after shot, so you know what to expect in the field. This is the ammo for hunters who've learned to trust Winchester's track record and want ammunition that simply works.

Each box contains 25 rounds, making it a practical choice for a full day afield. The high-brass construction signals proper chamber pressure and reliability. If you're running a 20-gauge and want pheasant ammo that balances payload, pattern consistency, and shooter control, Super Pheasant Magnum delivers the straightforward, no-nonsense performance upland hunters have relied on for generations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What game is this ammo best suited for?

Winchester Super Pheasant Magnum is engineered for upland hunting, particularly pheasant. The 1¼ oz copper-plated lead shot load and 3-inch magnum case give you the range and knockdown power needed for birds in open fields and light cover.

Will this work in my 20-gauge shotgun?

Yes, this is a standard 20-gauge, 3-inch shotshell. It will function in any 20-gauge firearm chambered for 3-inch shells. Always confirm your shotgun's chamber length before shooting.

How many rounds come in a box?

Each box contains 25 rounds, giving you plenty of ammunition for a full hunting trip or range session.

What's the difference between the copper-plated shot and standard lead?

Copper plating hardens the surface of each pellet, reducing deformation as it moves through the barrel and flies downrange. This helps maintain pattern density and effective range, which matters when you're taking longer shots at wary game.
