Description
Winchester's Super-X buckshot has been earning its keep in the field since 1922, and this XB124 load keeps that reputation going strong. This is a 12 gauge, 2.75 inch shell stuffed with 27 pellets of lead #4 buck, giving you a denser pattern than you'd get from bigger shot sizes while still hitting hard enough to matter.
What Makes This Super-X 4 Buck Load Stand Out
The smaller diameter of #4 buck pellets, right around a quarter inch each, means more of them fit into the same hull compared to something like 00 buck. That translates to a tighter, more forgiving pattern at typical shotgun ranges, which is exactly why a lot of predator hunters lean on this size when they need pellets on target instead of one big slug hoping for a lucky hit. Winchester loads this one to a muzzle velocity of 1325 fps, which keeps the shot string moving with enough authority to get the job done without beating up your shoulder any more than it has to.
Where the Winchester Super-X XB124 Earns Its Keep
This load shows up in truck boxes and shell bags for good reason. It handles coyote, fox, and similar medium game without issue, and plenty of folks keep a box on hand for close-range predator work around the farm or property line. The plastic hull and clean burning powder keep things running smoothly through pumps and semi-autos alike, so you're not fighting your gun when it counts.
Each box holds 5 rounds, and if you go through enough of this stuff to justify stocking up, it's also available by the case at 50 boxes. Either way you're getting the same consistent Super-X quality Winchester has built its name on for over a century, loaded into a shell that does exactly what it says on the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Winchester Super-X #4 buck best suited for?
The 27-pellet #4 buck load in this Super-X shell shines for predator hunting like coyote and fox, along with medium sized game where a dense pattern at closer range is an advantage. The smaller pellets give you more hits per shot compared to larger buckshot sizes, which is handy when your target is moving or partially obscured in brush.
How does #4 buck compare to 00 buck in this Super-X load?
Number 4 buck pellets run about a quarter inch in diameter, noticeably smaller than the roughly one-third inch pellets in 00 buck, which is why you get 27 pellets here instead of the 8 or 9 you'd find in a typical 00 buck shell. That extra pellet count gives you a denser pattern and better odds of connecting at moderate range, though 00 buck still carries more energy per pellet for larger animals or longer shots.
Will this ammo cycle reliably in my pump or semi-auto shotgun?
Yes, this Winchester Super-X load runs in a standard 2.75 inch 12 gauge chamber and functions fine in pumps, semi-autos, and break-actions alike. The clean burning powder helps keep your action running smoothly, so you shouldn't run into feeding or ejection issues during a hunt.
How many rounds come in a box of this Winchester XB124 Super-X buckshot?
Each box holds 5 rounds of the 12 gauge #4 buck load. If you're looking to stock up, this item is also offered as a full case of 50 boxes for those who go through buckshot regularly.
