Winchester Ammo XU12SP8 Super X Heavy Game Load 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/4 oz 1220 fps 8 Shot 25ea

Winchester Super X Heavy Game Load 12 gauge shotshells are built for hunters who need reliable, hard-hitting performance on upland game. These 2.75-inch shells deliver 1220 fps with a 1.25-ounce shot charge, giving you the energy and pattern density to put birds down cleanly. Winchester's reputation for consistent ammunition manufacturing—backed by over 140 years in the business—means you can trust these loads to perform the same way, shot after shot, when it matters most.

The Heavy Game line uses a clean-burning propellant formulation and one-piece plastic wad system designed for reliable ignition and consistent velocities. This combination minimizes fouling in your barrel and delivers predictable ballistics across a range of hunting conditions. Whether you're working a field of roosters, hunting pheasant, or pursuing other upland species, these shells give you the knockdown power serious hunters demand without the unpredictability of budget ammunition.

Each box contains 25 rounds, so you've got enough to pattern your gun, spend time at the range, and stock up for opening day. The 8 shot size is a proven choice for upland wingshooting, offering the balance of pellet count and individual energy that works across typical hunting ranges.
