Winchester Double X Ammunition 12 Gauge 3-1/2" Buffered 00 Copper Plated Buckshot 15 Pellets Box of 5

Winchester Double X ammunition in 12 gauge 3-1/2" magnum is built for hunters who need serious stopping power at distance. This buffered 00 buckshot load delivers 15 copper-plated pellets at 1450 fps, combining the hard shot consistency that Winchester has refined over generations with the tighter patterns and velocity needed for longer-range deer and large-game hunting. The copper plating protects each pellet, reducing deformation in the magazine and bore while maintaining energy downrange — a practical advantage when you're relying on buckshot to perform when it matters.

The 3-1/2" magnum chamber gives you room for payload without requiring you to chase shorter, lighter alternatives. This isn't a close-range HD round; Winchester engineered Double X for the field, where distance, dense cover, and unpredictable angles demand ammunition that patterns tight and hits hard. Hunters running 12-gauge shotguns for deer, hog, or predator work in open country or semi-open terrain will find the ballistics and shot count useful for their hunting scenarios.

Each box contains 5 rounds, making it easy to stock a hunting bag, truck, or range kit without overbuying. Winchester's buffering technology keeps pellets stable in the shot column, reducing flyers and inconsistency — the kind of reliability detail that separates field ammunition from generic loads.

Frequently Asked Questions

What 12-gauge shotgun will chamber Winchester Double X 3-1/2" ammunition?

Any 12-gauge shotgun rated for 3-1/2" magnum shells will safely chamber and fire this ammunition. Check your shotgun's barrel or owner's manual to confirm it's proofed for 3-1/2" loads. Never fire longer ammunition in a shotgun not rated for it.

Is this ammunition suitable for hunting?

Yes. Winchester Double X is specifically engineered for field hunting use. The copper-plated buckshot, buffering, and 1450 fps velocity make it appropriate for hunters using 12-gauge shotguns for deer, hog, and large-game hunting at reasonable distances.

How many pellets are in each round?

Each round contains 15 pellets of 00 buckshot, providing a substantial payload in a 3-1/2" shell.

What does "buffered" buckshot mean?

Buffering refers to material added around the shot to protect pellets from deforming during the acceleration and firing process. This helps maintain consistent patterns and more reliable performance downrange.
