Description
Winchester Super-X shells have been the go-to choice for upland and small game hunters for over a century. This 20 gauge load pairs the right shot size and payload for birds like pheasant, quail, and grouse, giving you the tools to make clean, ethical shots in the field.
Winchester Super-X High Brass Construction
The high brass construction delivers the power you need for longer-range shots on wary upland birds. A one-piece hinged wad ensures your shot stays together through the air, creating tight, consistent patterns. The famous Winchester 209 primer and clean-burning powder mean reliable ignition shot after shot, whether you're starting the day or grinding through your second field of the afternoon.
Balanced Performance in 20 Gauge
The 1 ounce of #5 shot strikes a nice balance between payload and recoil, letting you swing naturally without fighting the gun. Number 5 shot is known for good range and pattern density on medium-sized upland game while still giving you manageable recoil for follow-up shots. At 1220 feet per second, these shells carry velocity downrange so you're not left leading targets too far out.
Built to Last Through Your Season
Super-X ammunition has earned its reputation through consistency rather than gimmicks. You're getting shells that pattern well, cycle reliably in your shotgun, and won't leave you second-guessing whether your gun will go bang when you need it. The practical, no-fuss design means more time hunting and less time worrying about your ammo.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is #5 shot good for pheasant and other upland birds?
Yes, #5 shot works well for pheasant and is a popular choice for upland hunting. It delivers solid range and pattern density on medium-sized game while giving you manageable recoil. The exact effectiveness depends on your choke, distance, and the specific bird you're hunting, but many hunters rely on #5 for this type of work.
How does Winchester Super-X compare to other budget-friendly shotshell options?
Super-X has been the workhorse American shotgun shell since 1922 because it emphasizes consistency and availability over premium features. You're getting reliable patterns and dependable ignition without paying extra for bells and whistles. The high brass construction and quality components mean these shells will run reliably through your gun season after season.
Will these shells work in older 20 gauge shotguns?
These are standard 2.75-inch shells, so they'll chamber in any 20 gauge shotgun designed for 2.75-inch ammunition. Always verify your gun's chamber length before firing any shells. If your shotgun is marked for 3-inch shells only, these won't fit.
What's the difference between high brass and low brass shells?
High brass shells have a taller brass casing and typically carry heavier loads and higher velocities, making them better suited for hunting. Low brass shells are generally lighter target loads. The high brass construction on these Winchester Super-X shells gives you the extra power needed for field hunting.
