Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes the Winchester Super Pheasant Magnum 20 Gauge ammunition ideal for pheasant hunting?

A: The Winchester Super Pheasant Magnum 20 Gauge ammunition is ideal for pheasant hunting due to its high-velocity performance (1250 fps), which provides extended range and increased lethality. The 1 1/4 oz payload of #5 copper-plated lead shot offers excellent pattern density and knockdown power, making it effective for pheasants and other upland game birds.

Q: What is the shot size and material used in this ammunition?

A: This ammunition uses #5 shot, which is made of copper-plated lead. The copper plating helps maintain the roundness of the shot, improving pattern density and reducing barrel fouling.

Q: How many rounds are in a box and case of this ammunition?

A: Each box of Winchester Super Pheasant Magnum 20 Gauge ammunition contains 25 rounds. A full case consists of 10 boxes, totaling 250 rounds.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for all 20 gauge shotguns?

A: While this ammunition is high-quality and reliable, it should only be used in 20 gauge shotguns that are chambered for 3-inch shells. Always check your shotgun's specifications and consult the manufacturer's guidelines before using this ammunition, as not all 20 gauge shotguns can safely fire 3-inch shells.

Q: How does the recoil of this ammunition compare to standard 20 gauge loads?

A: Due to its high velocity (1250 fps) and heavy payload (1 1/4 oz), this ammunition will produce more recoil than standard 20 gauge loads. The increased recoil is a trade-off for the enhanced performance and longer effective range. Shooters should be prepared for potentially significant felt recoil, especially during extended shooting sessions.

Q: Can this ammunition be used for hunting other than pheasants?

A: Yes, while primarily designed for pheasant hunting, this ammunition is suitable for other upland game birds and can be effective for waterfowl hunting where lead shot is permitted. It's also suitable for predator control and pest management. However, it may be overpowered for smaller game, so it's important to choose the right ammunition for your specific hunting needs.
