Product Overview
Winchester Super Target Heavy Load is a 1 1/8 oz, 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge target load made for trap and sporting clays. Round lead #8 goes out at 1,200 fps. At that payload and speed it is a standard target load, and the heavy in the name is the velocity, since the Light Load carries the same charge at 1,145 fps.
The payload holds about 461 pellets of #8. Free recoil is about 23 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun, against about 20 for the 1,145 fps shells at the same weight of shot.
If you're cross-shopping, Estate Super Sport Competition Target matches the payload, shot size and speed exactly, with shot Estate rates as extra hard and a published 3 dram equivalent. Federal's Top Gun Target Load in the Patriot Edition hull takes the same 1 1/8 oz of #8 to 1,145 fps, with hard shot under an eight-segment crimp.
- Inside ATA 16-yard rules at 1 1/8 oz of #8 and 1,200 fps
- Winchester's hinged wad, which the line credits with cushioning the ignition impulse
- More pellets than the same payload holds in #7.5, since #8 is the smaller pellet
- Not a nontoxic load, so a club or range that requires steel or bismuth shot is out
- Payload, shot size, speed and recoil are identical to the Estate Super Sport shell compared, so no published figure separates them
