Description
Winchester Super-X Game Load ammunition has been the backbone of upland hunting since 1922. These 12-gauge shells pack everything you need for effective hunting over dogs or from fixed positions in the field.
What Makes Super-X Game Load Different
The engineering is straightforward but effective. You get a full ounce of #6 lead shot loaded to 1290 feet per second, giving you solid pellet density for birds at typical hunting ranges. The one-piece hinged wad keeps your patterns tight while reducing felt recoil, and the 209 primer combined with clean-burning powder means consistent ignition and velocity shot after shot. At 2.75 inches, these shells work in any standard shotgun.
Versatile for Multiple Upland Species
Number 6 shot strikes a practical balance for upland hunting. It works for early-season pheasants when birds are close over pointing dogs, handles grouse and partridge well, and has enough pellets for rabbits and squirrels. If you're hunting mixed bag with several bird types in a day, these rounds cover your bases without forcing you to switch ammo. The 1290 fps velocity delivers clean energy at typical upland distances without excessive recoil, so you stay on target for follow-up shots.
Built for Dependable Field Work
Winchester's reputation for quality components shows in these shells. Each box contains 25 rounds, making it convenient to load up for a morning hunt. The ammunition uses the same manufacturing processes and materials that have made Super-X a standard in the field for over a century. No frills, no complicated marketing, just ammunition that works when you pull the trigger.

Frequently Asked Questions
What game is Winchester Super-X Game Load #6 shot best suited for?
Number 6 shot works well for upland birds like pheasants, grouse, partridge, quail, and dove. It also handles small game like rabbits and squirrels effectively. This load offers a good balance of pellet count and energy for typical hunting ranges where most upland shots occur.
How does the one-piece hinged wad affect performance?
The one-piece hinged wad design helps maintain consistent, tight shot patterns and reduces felt recoil compared to traditional wad designs. This improves comfort during longer hunting sessions and helps keep your patterns dense at effective hunting distances.
Can these shells be reloaded?
Winchester Super-X Game Load hulls have a steel base and Winchester does not recommend them for reloading. If you choose to reload them, do so only once and use data for moderate pressure target loads, never heavy field loads.
Are these high brass or low brass shells?
Super-X Game Load shells feature low brass construction, which is appropriate for the standard pressures these shells generate. They cycle reliably in standard shotguns and are designed for the 1290 fps velocity Winchester rates them at.
