12 Gauge 2-3/4'' 1-1/4 Oz #8 Shot 25/box

Winchester 12 Gauge 2-3/4" 1-1/4 Oz #8 Shot ammunition delivers consistent performance for small game hunting and sport shooting applications. Built on Winchester's Super-X platform, this 25-round box provides reliable, field-proven loads suitable for upland game, clay target work, and training scenarios. Law enforcement and military professionals recognize Winchester's ammunition standards for dependable ignition and consistent velocity—critical factors when precision and reliability cannot be compromised in the field.

Each round features a 3.25 dram equivalent powder charge driving 1-1/4 ounces of #8 lead shot, engineered to produce a tight, effective pattern at typical hunting ranges. The #8 shot size—smaller than typical waterfowl loads but larger than target loads—offers a balanced compromise between pattern density and energy retention for small upland birds, rabbits, and similar game. Lead composition ensures cost-effective reloading capability and maximum density for consistent ballistics across the entire box, eliminating shot-to-shot velocity variance that compromises accuracy in precision applications.

Hunters pursuing quail, dove, and other upland game will find this load optimal for 20- to 35-yard effective ranges, where the shot pattern transitions from tight to effective spread. Sport shooters using standard 12-gauge pump, semi-automatic, or over-under shotguns can expect reliable cycling and minimal recoil impulse with this mid-range dram load. The 2-3/4" chamber length ensures compatibility with all standard 12-gauge firearms; shooters should always verify their firearm's chamber specification before use to guarantee safe, reliable performance.
