Description
The Winchester Super Pheasant High Velocity delivers the kind of performance you need when hunting birds that are running wide or flushing far ahead of your dog. Loaded with 1 3/8 ounces of #5 copper-plated lead shot, this round packs more pellets downrange than standard 1 1/4 ounce loads, giving you better odds on those extended shots that define late-season hunting.
High Velocity Design for Extended Range
At 1450 feet per second, the Super Pheasant HV generates the kind of speed needed for harder-hitting performance at distance. The 2 3/4 inch shell is manageable for all-day hunts without unnecessary recoil while maintaining the energy to penetrate late-season birds with their tougher plumage. High brass construction ensures reliable chambering and consistent performance through your shotgun.
Copper-Plated Shot and Engineered Wads
Copper plating keeps pellets round through the barrel and into the pattern, resisting the deformation that can scatter your shot group. The specialized wad design supports consistent shot strings and pattern density, so your pattern stays tight where it matters most. These components work together to deliver the knockdown power serious pheasant hunters expect from Winchester's reputation.
Box of 25 Rounds
Each box contains 25 rounds, making it practical for extended field days or to stock up for the season. Cases of 10 boxes provide bulk availability for regular hunters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes copper-plated shot better for hunting pheasants?
Copper plating keeps pellets round as they travel through the barrel and maintain their shape on impact, preventing deformation that scatters your pattern. This roundness creates tighter shot groupings and deeper penetration, both critical when hunting birds with thick, late-season plumage. The result is more consistent knockdown power at extended ranges.
Will Winchester Super Pheasant HV work in my 2 3/4 inch chamber?
Yes, these 2 3/4 inch shells are designed for shotguns with 2 3/4 inch chambers or longer. Always verify your shotgun's chamber length before shooting any ammunition, and ensure your gun is in good working condition before use.
How does the 1 3/8 oz load compare to standard pheasant ammo?
The 1 3/8 ounce payload is heavier than the typical 1 1/4 ounce standard pheasant load, giving you roughly 1/8 ounce more shot in the air. On extended shots or when hunting educated late-season birds, that extra weight translates to better pattern density and increased likelihood of connecting where you aim.
Is this load suitable for all upland game birds?
While designed specifically for pheasants, the #5 shot size and high velocity make this load effective for other upland game birds of similar size. The tight patterns and extended range capability make it especially useful when hunting birds that flush at distance.
