The Winchester Super-X Turkey 12 Gauge 2-3/4" 1-1/2 oz #4 Shot (model X12MT4) is a proven, hard-hitting lead turkey load built for reliable performance on gobblers at moderate to longer ranges. Part of Winchester's trusted Super-X line, these shells deliver dense, consistent patterns with excellent penetration—ideal for spring or fall turkey hunting where you need ethical knockdown power on head/neck shots.
Each shell packs a heavy 1-1/2 oz payload of copper-plated #4 lead shot (approximately 200–210 pellets) at 1260 fps, providing strong energy retention and deep penetration through tough turkey vitals. The copper plating increases hardness for better pattern uniformity, while Grex buffering reduces pellet deformation and helps the shot flow smoothly through tight turkey chokes (extra-full recommended), resulting in tight, forgiving patterns downrange. The 2-3/4" hull fits any standard 12-gauge shotgun (no magnum chamber required), with clean-burning powder, reliable non-corrosive primers, and reloadable hulls for dependable ignition in the field.
#4 shot offers a solid balance of pellet count for pattern density and pellet size for effective penetration—great for shots out to 40–50 yards (pattern your setup!) on wary long-beards in open woods, fields, or blinds.
