Winchester Super Pheasant High Velocity Ammunition 12 Gauge 2-3/4" 1-3/8 oz

Winchester Super Pheasant High Velocity Ammunition in 12 gauge 2-3/4" delivers the velocity and shot pellet energy needed to cleanly take roosters at range. This is a dedicated upland game load, not a general-purpose shotshell—engineered for the specific demands of pheasant hunting when you need consistent, hard-hitting performance across the field.

The 1-3/8 oz payload of plated lead shot is optimized for the balance of pattern density and energy retention that pheasant hunters have relied on for generations. Plating the pellets reduces deformation in the barrel, which means tighter, more uniform patterns downrange—the difference between a clean harvest and a missed opportunity on a fast-flushing rooster. Winchester's long track record in ammunition manufacturing means you get the consistency shot-to-shot that matters when you're counting on your load in the field.

If you're running a 12-gauge over-under, pump, or semi-auto for pheasant season, this load fits the sweet spot: high velocity to extend your effective range without magnum recoil, and a shot charge sized specifically for upland birds. Run these through a modified or full choke for best results, and you'll have the terminal performance Winchester built them for.
