Winchester Double X Turkey Ammunition 12 Gauge 3" 1-3/4 oz #5 Copper Plated Shot Box of 10

Winchester Double X Turkey Ammunition in 12 gauge 3-inch shells delivers a 1-3/4 oz. payload of #5 copper-plated lead shot—a proven load for turkey hunters who demand tight patterns and consistent performance. Loaded to 1300 feet per second, this ammunition balances velocity with shot density to help you connect cleanly on gobblers at realistic hunting distances. Whether you're working a bird in a creek bottom or from a high stand, the Double X load gives you the pellet count and pattern consistency serious turkey hunters expect.

The copper-plated shot resists deformation during firing, which keeps your patterns uniform and your pellets where they need to be. Winchester's Grex buffering system cushions the shot charge to maintain pellet integrity through the barrel and beyond, reducing flyers that waste energy and opportunity. Custom-blended powders ensure that each round ignites and performs the same way shot after shot—no surprises in the field when the moment matters.

You get 10 rounds per box, which lets you pattern your gun and have shells ready for opening morning or a dedicated hunting day. This is factory ammunition built on Winchester's long history of turkey load development, engineered for the modern turkey hunter who won't compromise on reliability or terminal performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to pattern Winchester Double X Turkey ammunition?

Take your shotgun to a patterning board at 40 yards—the standard turkey hunting distance—and fire a few rounds at different aim points. Note where the heaviest concentration of #5 pellets lands and adjust your aim or hold accordingly. Multiple rounds help you confirm consistency and identify any point-of-aim shifts.

Will Winchester Double X work in older 12-gauge shotguns?

These are 3-inch shells, so your shotgun must be chambered for 3-inch ammunition. If your gun is marked 2-3/4 inch only, do not use 3-inch shells. Always verify your gun's chamber size before purchasing ammunition.

What makes #5 shot a good turkey load?

Number 5 copper-plated pellets strike a balance between pellet count and penetration. More pellets mean a denser pattern and better odds of multiple hits on vital zones, while the larger pellet size still carries sufficient energy for clean, ethical kills at typical turkey hunting ranges.

Is this a one-shot or multiple-round box?

Each box contains 10 rounds, giving you enough ammunition for patterning your shotgun and hunting a full day or weekend outing.
