Winchester Ammo XU20H8 Super X Heavy Game Load 20 Gauge 2.75" 1 oz 1165 fps 8 Shot 25ea

Winchester Super-X Heavy Game Load 20 gauge shotshells deliver the payload and velocity serious upland hunters need to drop birds cleanly. At 1 oz of shot traveling 1165 fps from a 2.75" shell, these loads pack genuine stopping power in a 20-gauge platform—enough to handle everything from quail and grouse to tougher game without the heft of a 12-gauge magnum. Built on over 140 years of Winchester's shotgun ammunition expertise, these are working shells for hunters who know their 20-gauge and refuse to compromise on performance.

The heavy game designation means Winchester engineered these loads specifically for the sustained energy and pattern density upland gunners demand. The eight-shot load (8 pellets per shell) is balanced for consistent ballistics and reliable takedown at practical hunting ranges. Each box contains 25 shells, giving you a full day in the field or plenty for pattern testing and practice before the season opens.

If you run a 20-gauge and want ammunition that performs like a hunter's load rather than a budget commodity, Winchester's Super-X Heavy Game line earns its place in your vest. The clean-burning powder and one-piece plastic wad deliver dependable ignition and velocity shot after shot, so you can focus on your birds instead of worrying about your ammo.
