Description
Winchester Super Pheasant shells are purpose-built for upland hunters who want ammunition they can rely on season after season. These 2-3/4 inch loads pair a hefty 1-3/8 ounce payload of copper-plated #6 shot with a one-piece engineered wad that keeps patterns tight and consistent across typical hunting ranges.
What Makes Super Pheasant Work
The copper plating on the lead shot resists deformation, which means more pellets arrive on target intact rather than flattening out in flight. That translates to denser patterns and better penetration when it counts. The high brass head gives you reliable ignition, and the engineered wad releases the shot cleanly for uniform patterns you can count on.
The Right Load for Close to Moderate Distances
At 1300 fps, this isn't a magnum velocity load, which actually works in your favor if most of your shooting happens inside 40 yards. #6 shot provides plenty of pellets for pattern density in thick cover while still carrying enough energy to cleanly down roosters. You get 25 rounds per box, making it easy to stock up without overbuying.
Field-Proven Performance
Windowchester built these shells specifically for pheasant and upland game hunting where reliable ignition and consistent patterns matter more than chasing extreme velocities. The combination of plated shot, proper payload, and a quality wad means you're getting ammunition that performs the same way shot after shot, which is what separates good hunting ammo from the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions
What range are these Winchester Super Pheasant shells effective for?
The #6 shot with a 1-3/8 oz payload at 1300 fps performs well out to around 40-45 yards depending on your choke and gun setup. They're particularly effective for close to moderate distance shooting in typical upland hunting scenarios where birds flush from cover.
Can I use these shells in any 12 gauge shotgun?
These are standard 2-3/4 inch shells designed for any 12 gauge shotgun that accepts standard length ammunition. Make sure your shotgun's chamber is marked for 2-3/4 inch shells before use. Always consult your gun's manual for proper ammunition recommendations.
Why choose #6 shot over larger sizes like #4 or #5?
#6 shot packs more pellets into the shell, giving you denser patterns that work great in thick cover or for birds flushing close. The smaller pellets also mean less recoil. Many hunters use #6 when shots are typically under 40 yards, while #5 or #4 are better choices if you expect longer-range opportunities.
What does the copper plating do?
Copper plating keeps the lead shot from flattening and deforming as it travels down the barrel and through the air. This means more pellets stay round and maintain their shape, creating tighter patterns and better performance at distance compared to plain lead shot.
