Winchester Double X Turkey Ammunition 12 Gauge 3-1/2" 2 oz #5 Copper Plated Shot Box of 10

Winchester Double X Turkey Ammunition in 12 gauge 3-1/2" is built for hunters serious about closing the distance on wary turkeys. This load combines a hefty 2-ounce shot payload with copper-plated #5 pellets, delivering the pattern density and penetration you need when birds are working at 40-plus yards. At 1300 feet per second, the shot reaches target fast—critical for leading moving birds and punching through dense feathers and body mass.

What sets the Double X apart is the engineering behind the pattern. Copper-plated pellets resist deformation better than bare lead, which translates to tighter, more consistent spreads downrange. Winchester's Grex buffering system further protects pellets during the firing sequence, keeping shot round and uniform so your pattern stays lethal where it counts. Pair that with custom-blended powder tuned for reliable ignition, and you've got ammunition that performs the same way, box to box, hunt to hunt.

This is turkey ammo for hunters who've put in the work—scouting birds, setting up right, reading the weather. You're not buying hopes; you're buying consistency. The 10-round box fits the hunting reality: you don't take the whole arsenal into the field, and you don't need it. What you need is ammunition you can trust when the tom's in range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this ammunition suitable for longer-range turkey hunting?

Yes. The 3-1/2" magnum shell, 2-ounce payload, and 1300 fps velocity are all designed to extend effective range. Copper-plated #5 shot maintains pattern density at distance better than softer pellets, making this load a solid choice for 40-yard-plus turkey hunting.

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

Copper plating hardens the pellet surface, which means it resists deformation when compressed in the barrel and when it hits bone and muscle. This helps your pattern stay tighter downrange, putting more pellets on target where you need them.

Will this work in older 12-gauge shotguns?

The Winchester Double X is a 3-1/2" magnum load. Your shotgun must be rated for 3-1/2" shells. Always check your firearm's chamber marking and owner's manual to confirm compatibility before loading.

How many pellets are in a 2-ounce load of #5 shot?

That information isn't specified in the product details. For exact pellet count, contact Winchester directly or check their ballistic data sheet.
