25rds – 28 Gauge Winchester Super-X 2-3/4" 1oz. #5 Shot Ammo Details

The 28 Gauge deserves more respect. Sure, it wouldn’t be our first choice for lion hunting, but the shotgun’s light weight, low recoil and reserved report all make it a great thing for bird hunting. Whether you’ve got a hot new model 28ga shotgun or grampa’s old hand-me-down, you’re going to like hunting pheasant and turkey with Winchester Super-X.

This 2-3/4” shell is loaded with exactly one ounce of #5 shot, a size that is preferred by many for bagging galliform game. Those 170 pellets are each a standard 0.120" in diameter, and rocket out of the barrel at a 1,205 fps muzzle velocity. (The extra 5 fps is for good luck.) The shot is pressed down the barrel by a one-piece hinged wad, which makes already manageable recoil even less intrusive by collapsing during ignition.

Winchester throws in a few welcome bonuses, including their famously dependable 209 shotgun primer, powder that burns up cleanly, and a high-brass hull that slides into a chamber like it’s finally going home. If you reload empty shells, reload this ammo’s empty shells!
