The Winchester Double X Turkey Ammunition in 20 gauge offers hunters a shorter-range option that doesn't force you to lug a heavy 12 gauge all day. Built around a 3-inch shell loaded with 1-5/16 oz. of #5 copper-plated shot, this load balances the agility of a lighter gauge with the pattern integrity and penetration you need when a turkey steps into range. The copper plating on each pellet creates a harder surface that resists deformation, which tightens your pattern and delivers more consistent hits downrange. Winchester backs this load with their Grex Buffering System—a proven technology that protects shot pellets from deforming inside the barrel, keeping your pattern uniform and your impact force where it counts.
Velocity runs at 1200 feet per second, a moderate speed that lets you shoot flat enough for mobile hunting while keeping recoil manageable on a gun you'll carry all morning. The 20-gauge frame makes this ammunition a smart choice if you prefer less weight and faster handling in thick cover or if you're shooting a gun that's simply more comfortable for you. Winchester's custom-blended powder charge is tuned for reliable ignition across a range of field conditions, so you can trust these shells whether you're hunting in spring drizzle or early-season heat.
You get 10 rounds per box, enough for a serious hunting day or a solid practice session. If you've built your turkey rig around a 20-gauge and want ammunition that respects that choice, these Double X loads deliver the pattern and penetration hunters expect without apology.

These are standard 3-inch shells that will chamber in any 20-gauge shotgun rated for 3-inch loads. Always verify your gun's chamber length before shooting; if your shotgun is marked for 2¾-inch or 2½-inch loads only, use ammunition matched to that specification.
Winchester loaded these shells with #5 copper-plated shot, which offers a balance of pellet count and penetration. The copper plating creates harder pellets that hold their shape better through the barrel and downrange, helping you maintain a denser, more consistent pattern than softer lead shot would. Shot size choice depends on your gun's choke and how far you typically hunt; #5 is a popular middle-ground for 20-gauge turkey hunting.
Each box contains 10 rounds of Winchester Double X 20-gauge 3-inch ammunition loaded with 1-5/16 oz. of #5 copper-plated shot.
Winchester designed and markets Double X as a dedicated turkey hunting load. The combination of copper-plated pellets, buffering technology, and velocity is engineered for lethal pattern and penetration on turkey-sized game.
