Winchester Super Pheasant shotshells deliver the specialized load pheasant hunters need when they're working open country at the tail end of the season. These 12 gauge 2-3/4" shells combine a blended #5 and #6 shot charge designed to pattern tight downrange while maintaining the hitting power to anchor birds at distance. Built with plated lead shot and a purposeful wad design, Winchester engineered these rounds specifically for the demanding conditions and longer shots that define late-season pheasant hunting.
Whether you're hunting classic grassland or CRP, Winchester's reputation for reliability means you can focus on the birds instead of your ammo. The blended shot sizes offer a sweet spot between range and pellet count—#5 for reach and penetration, #6 for pattern density. Each box delivers 25 rounds, so you'll have plenty for a full day in the field or a quick trip to your favorite spot.
Super Pheasant loads pair well with open-choked or modified-choke shotguns suited to mid-range to longer presentations. They're a standard-velocity 2-3/4" shell, so they'll cycle reliably in most modern 12-gauge pump and semi-auto firearms. If you've trusted Winchester ammunition in the past, you know the brand didn't become legendary by cutting corners—and these shells prove it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the #5 and #6 blend in these shells?
#5 shot provides deeper penetration and reach on longer shots; #6 delivers denser pattern and more pellets for tighter grouping. Winchester blends them in Super Pheasant to give you the advantages of both in a single load, ideal for the varied distances you'll encounter in the field.
Will Winchester Super Pheasant shells work in my 12-gauge pump or semi-auto?
Yes. These are standard 2-3/4" shells designed for any modern 12-gauge shotgun that accepts that shell length. Confirm your gun's chamber length (typically stamped on the barrel) before shooting any ammunition.
Are these good for long-range pheasant hunting?
Winchester designed Super Pheasant shells specifically for hunters looking to extend range and performance beyond standard field loads. The plated lead shot, tight wad, and blended sizes support longer, more reliable kills—though effective range depends on your shotgun's choke, barrel, and your shooting ability.
How many rounds come in a box?
Winchester MP1256 Super Pheasant shells come in boxes of 25 rounds.
