This specialized load features a heavy 1-3/8-ounce payload combining #5 and #6 shot sizes, delivering the perfect balance of pattern coverage and pellet energy needed for tough, fast-flying ring-necked pheasants. With 25 rounds per box and 10 boxes per case, this ammunition provides excellent value for serious upland bird hunters. Whether you’re hunting in thick cover, open fields, or late-season conditions, Winchester Magnum Pheasant loads are designed to help you make clean, ethical harvests on one of North America’s most popular game birds.

Optimized Dual Shot Size Combination

One of the most effective features of this Winchester Magnum Pheasant load is its strategic combination of #5 and #6 shot. The larger #5 pellets provide excellent penetration and energy retention for clean kills on larger pheasants, while the smaller #6 pellets fill in the pattern for superior density and coverage. This dual-shot design creates exceptionally even and effective patterns that perform well at typical pheasant hunting ranges. Hunters consistently report tighter, more consistent patterns compared to standard single-size loads, resulting in higher hit ratios and fewer wounded birds.

Heavy 1-3/8 oz Payload for Maximum Performance

The Winchester Magnum Pheasant load delivers a substantial 1-3/8-ounce payload in a standard 2-3/4" shell. This heavy shot charge provides the pattern density and downrange energy required for effective pheasant hunting, especially in situations where birds are flushing at longer ranges or when hunting late in the season when pheasants are tougher and more wary. The increased payload helps ensure multiple pellet strikes on target, improving the chances of a clean harvest even under challenging field conditions.
