Winchester Super-X 16 Gauge 2.75" #8 shot ammunition delivers consistent, field-proven performance in a 25-round box configuration designed for hunting and sport shooting applications. Since 1922, Winchester's Super-X line has maintained a reputation for reliability and accuracy across diverse shooting disciplines, with this 16-gauge variant engineered for upland game and clay target work where dependable patterns matter.
This 16-gauge load launches 1 ounce of #8 shot at 1,165 feet per second, a velocity that balances energy delivery with controllable recoil—key considerations for extended shooting sessions. The #8 shot size is optimized for medium-range targets and smaller game, offering tighter patterns than larger pellet sizes while maintaining effective lethality within appropriate distances. The 2.75-inch shell length is the standard specification for conventional 16-gauge firearms, ensuring broad compatibility with most 16-gauge shotguns in circulation.
Shooters working with 16-gauge shotguns—whether for hunting upland birds, pursuing rabbit and squirrel, or practicing clay shooting—value Winchester ammunition for its consistent ignition and regulated velocities. The 25-round box format suits hunters who require modest quantities per outing without excess inventory. Winchester's quality control extends to primer reliability in varying weather conditions, a practical consideration for field use where misfires create frustration and lost opportunity.
16-gauge shotguns occupy a narrow market niche between the lighter 20-gauge and heavier 12-gauge, appealing to shooters seeking reduced recoil without sacrificing pattern density. This Winchester load provides the velocity and shot charge expected from the platform, making it a straightforward choice for operators and hunters seeking dependable ammunition from a recognized manufacturer.
