Winchester Super-X Game Loads Ammunition 16 Gauge 2-3/4" 1 oz #6 Shot

The Winchester Super-X Game Loads in 16 gauge are purpose-built shotshells for hunters who've chosen the classic 16 as their upland and small-game gun. These 2-3/4" shells deliver a 1 oz payload of #6 shot—a versatile choice that balances pattern density with effective pellet energy for birds and small game at typical hunting ranges. Winchester's Super-X Game line draws on over 140 years of ammunition engineering, and the 16 gauge version carries that same reputation for consistent performance and reliability.

The #6 shot size in this load is a proven all-rounder for game birds where you want tighter patterns than larger shot sizes provide, without sacrificing effective range. Whether you're hunting upland birds, ducks, or small game, the 16 gauge offers a sweet spot between the lighter 20 and the heavier 12—less recoil than a 12 but more knockdown than a .410, with shot charge to match. If your gun is a 16, you know ammunition options are more limited than for other gauges, so having a trusted standby like Super-X Game loaded and ready matters.

These are standard velocity game loads designed for reliable cycling in 16 gauge shotguns and consistent shot delivery. Winchester's quality control and components are built to perform in the field, not just on the bench. Pick up a box or two and you'll have dependable ammunition that respects the time you put in at your hunting spot.
