Winchester Super-X Pheasant Ammunition 12 Gauge 2-3/4" 1-1/4 oz #5 Shot Box of 25

Winchester Super-X Pheasant ammunition in 12 gauge 2-3/4" is a proven upland load purpose-built for pheasant hunters who need reliable, hard-hitting performance in the field. The 1-1/4 oz #5 shot charge delivers the kind of pattern density and energy retention that separates a clean harvest from a frustrating miss—especially when birds flush at distance. If you're working the brush and stubble fields where roosters like to hide, this is the round serious pheasant hunters reach for season after season.

The load combines Winchester's plated lead shot with an engineered wad design engineered to maintain a tight, consistent pattern downrange. Plated shot resists deformation better than bare lead, which means more pellets arrive at the target in their intended shape, translating to denser patterns and deeper penetration on tough gamebirds. The high brass magnum construction reinforces the shell case, supporting the velocity and pressure needed to extend your effective range—critical when roosters are running hard or flushing wild.

Each box contains 25 rounds, giving you a practical field supply for a hunting trip or a morning's shoot. Winchester's reputation in upland ammunition runs deep; Super-X loads have earned trust through consistency and performance that works when it counts. Whether you're hunting late-season birds that test your skills or stocking up for a season of steady gunning, this 12 gauge load delivers the edge you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Winchester Super-X Pheasant ammo good for long-range pheasant hunting?

Yes. The high brass magnum construction and 1-1/4 oz #5 shot charge are engineered to extend effective range compared to standard loads. The plated lead shot and tight-patterning wad maintain density and energy downrange, making it suitable for birds flushing at distance.

What's the difference between #5 shot and other sizes for pheasant?

Shot size #5 is a classic pheasant load—large enough to deliver solid energy and penetration on a rooster, small enough to maintain pattern density at practical hunting ranges. The choice depends on your typical shooting distance and preference; this load performs well for general pheasant hunting in brush and field.

Can I use 2-3/4" shells in any 12 gauge shotgun?

Most 12 gauge shotguns accept 2-3/4" shells. Always verify your shotgun's chamber specifications in your owner's manual before shooting any ammunition. Some modern shotguns are chambered for 3" or 3-1/2" shells only and should not be fired with shorter shells.

How many shells come in a box?

Each box contains 25 rounds, providing a practical supply for a hunting trip or range session.
