Winchester Super-X High Brass shotshells have long been a go-to for hunters and sport shooters who demand reliable, consistent performance in the field. This 12 gauge load delivers a 1-1/4 ounce payload of #8 shot in a 2-3/4" hull with high brass construction, offering the classic balance of pattern density and recoil management that makes it effective for upland game, clay shooting, and other hunting applications where smaller shot size works best.
The Super-X High Brass line is built on Winchester's reputation for quality control and repeatability—each round is loaded to deliver uniform performance, so you get the same ballistics and point-of-aim consistency from the first shell to the last in the box. The high brass construction adds durability and reliability, particularly in semi-automatic shotguns where consistent chamber pressures matter. Whether you're breaking clays at the range or hunting birds, this ammunition is engineered to cycle reliably and pattern predictably downrange.
#8 shot is ideal for close- to medium-range work on smaller upland species and clay targets, where the tighter pattern and higher pellet count give you better odds of a clean hit. The 1-1/4 ounce payload strikes a practical middle ground between recoil and payload weight, making it manageable for longer shooting sessions without sacrificing effectiveness. Each box contains 25 rounds, so you can stock up for a day at the range or season in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
What game and hunting situations are #8 shot best suited for?
#8 shot is ideal for upland game birds and clay shooting at closer to medium ranges. The smaller pellet size delivers a denser pattern, giving you more shot density downrange for a higher probability of clean hits on smaller targets.
Will Winchester Super-X High Brass shells work in my semi-automatic shotgun?
High brass shells are designed with consistent pressures and chamber reliability in mind, making them well-suited for semi-automatic shotguns. However, always verify your shotgun's manual for specific ammunition recommendations and compatibility.
What's the difference between high brass and low brass shotshells?
High brass construction adds durability and creates more consistent chamber pressures, which improves reliability in semi-automatic shotguns and pump guns. High brass shells are typically preferred for repeating shotguns, while low brass loads are often adequate for single-shot or double-barrel firearms.
How many rounds are in a box?
