Winchester Super-X shotshells have been a go-to choice for upland hunters since 1922, and this 16 gauge load carries that legacy with proven reliability. The 2.75-inch shell packs 1-1/8 ounces of #6 lead shot traveling at 1295 fps, giving you the pattern density and energy needed for consistent performance on birds and small game at moderate range.
The combination of velocity, shot payload, and the one-piece hinged wad system creates tight, consistent patterns that help you connect when it counts. High-brass construction with a 209 primer ensures reliable ignition and consistent shot-to-shot performance in the field. The 16 gauge has always been the sweet spot for upland work—it carries like a lighter gauge but delivers the energy of something much larger. With an ounce or so of #6 shot, the 16 handles just about any upland bird situation you'll encounter.
Whether you're working thick cover for grouse and woodcock or crossing open fields for pheasant and quail, this load works across the variety that upland hunting demands. The #6 shot size provides good pellet count while maintaining energy at distance, making it effective on everything from early-season birds to late-season roosters. Many hunters have found this classic combination to be the ideal middle ground—tighter patterns than larger shot, more knockdown than the 7.5s.
Yes. The #6 shot size and 1-1/8 ounce payload are purpose-built for upland game like pheasant, grouse, quail, and woodcock. The 1295 fps velocity gives you effective range and the pattern density to cleanly connect on moving targets across typical upland terrain.
The 16 gauge carries noticeably lighter and faster in the field while still delivering serious performance. The trade-off is slightly less total payload, but Winchester's 1-1/8 ounce load gives you enough shot to be effective on upland game. Many experienced hunters prefer 16 gauge for the balance of handling and power.
Winchester Super-X high-brass loads are designed to function reliably in modern shotguns. The consistent velocity and proper wad system help ensure dependable feeding. That said, individual guns vary, so patterning and cycling a few rounds through your specific gun is always a good idea before heading afield.
The #6 shot provides tighter patterns with more pellets per ounce, making it better for longer-range work and precision on smaller birds. The #4 shot carries more energy per pellet and works better on larger birds at closer range or in heavier cover. Choose based on the game you're targeting and typical shooting distances on your hunting grounds.
