Product Overview
Winchester Super-X Heavy Game Load is a 1 1/8 oz, 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge upland load made for game shooting with a heavy shot charge. It carries plain lead #8 at 1,255 fps. Heavy here refers to the payload, an eighth of an ounce over the Super-X game loads in the same shot size.
That payload comes to about 461 pellets. Free recoil is about 25 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun, and an upland double lighter than that raises the figure. #8 is a close-range size for dove and quail, where the same shell in #4 holds about 152 pellets of much heavier lead.
If you're cross-shopping, B&P Dove & Quail 1 1/8 oz #8 matches the payload, shot size and speed, under a Gordon base-wad system B&P credits with 20% less recoil. The Remington Game Load holds an ounce of #8 at 1,290 fps, about 410 pellets.
- About 461 pellets of #8, as many as any 1 1/8 oz load compared carries
- Plain lead #8 at 1,255 fps in a 2 3/4-inch shell every 12-gauge chamber takes
- The same shell length and speed as the #4 version of it, so pellet size is the only choice between the two
- Lead shot, so any ground that requires nontoxic shot for upland birds is out
- About 25 ft-lbs of recoil in a 7.5 lb gun, against about 21 for the 1 oz game loads compared
- Winchester names no hull or wad for the Super-X line
