Overview
Built for upland bird hunting, this 12 gauge load is aimed at pheasant hunters who want a 3" shell with a heavy 1-5/8 oz payload of #4 copper plated lead shot. Winchester pairs that load with a 1350 fps muzzle velocity, a 209 primer, clean burning powder, and a one-piece hinged wad to support consistent ignition and shot performance. The high brass casing rounds out a package intended for field use where dependable function matters. It is a straightforward choice for hunters looking for a pheasant-specific load in a 25-round box.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Requires a 3" 12 gauge chamber, so it is not a fit for guns limited to shorter shells.
- Loaded with #4 copper plated lead shot, which is tailored to pheasant hunting rather than a broad all-purpose shotgun load.
- High-velocity 1350 fps performance may produce more recoil than lighter target or field loads.
- 25-round box count is practical for hunting use, but it is a relatively small quantity for high-volume shooting.
