Description
Winchester Super-X High-Velocity shells hit hard where it counts. Built with high-brass hulls and loaded with 1-1/4 ounces of #6 lead shot, these 2.75-inch shells push 1,450 feet per second to drop birds cleanly and consistently. The heavier payload means more pellets on target, which matters when you need to seal the deal in the field.
Why #6 Shot Works for Upland Game
Number 6 shot strikes the balance between density and power that upland hunters have relied on for generations. It patterns tight enough to connect on birds flushing at 30-40 yards, yet with enough cushion that you're not over-penetrating quail or rabbits. This is the round for early-season pheasant and grouse hunts, or when you're chasing mixed bag in the same field.
Winchester Super-X Built for Consistent Performance
The one-piece hinged wad gives you uniform patterns and smooth feeding, while clean-burning powder keeps your gun running smooth. You get the reliable ignition Winchester has delivered since 1922, which translates to no surprises when the dog locks down or birds explode out of the brush. High brass construction means durability for frequent shooting and reloading if that's your thing.
Twenty-five rounds per box fits your day afield perfectly without excess weight in the truck. The velocity and payload work together to extend your effective range and reduce the lead you need on crossing birds, making follow-up shots quicker and cleaner.

Frequently Asked Questions
What game is Winchester Super-X #6 shot best for?
Number 6 shot works well for upland birds like pheasant and grouse, as well as small game including rabbits and squirrels. It offers enough density to pattern effectively at hunting ranges while avoiding unnecessary over-penetration on smaller species. Many hunters carry multiple shot sizes for mixed-bag days and back up their #6 with slightly larger shot if birds are flushing further out.
Are these shells reloadable?
Yes, Winchester Super-X shotshells come in reloadable high-brass hulls. The one-piece hinged wad and 209 primer are designed to handle reloading, making them a cost-effective option for people who reload their own ammunition. Always follow proper reloading procedures and check your equipment for signs of wear.
How does 1,450 fps velocity compare to other loads?
At 1,450 fps, these are classed as high-velocity shells that provide flatter trajectories and faster pellet arrival downrange compared to standard loads running around 1,200-1,300 fps. The extra velocity reduces the amount of lead you need and helps pellets maintain energy to 40+ yard distances, which can make a real difference in converting opportunities on faster-flushing birds.
Will these shells work in all 12 gauge shotguns?
Winchester Super-X 2.75-inch shells are compatible with any 12 gauge shotgun chambered for 2.75-inch ammunition. However, always check your shotgun's chamber markings before shooting. Some shotguns are chambered for longer shells (3 or 3.5 inches), which would require the appropriate length ammunition.
