Winchester 12ga Super X Turkey 2 3/4" 1260fps 1 1/2oz #5 shot 10 rounds

The Winchester Super-X Turkey 12 Gauge 2-3/4" 1-1/2 oz #5 Shot (model X12MT5 or similar) is a classic, hard-hitting lead turkey load designed for reliable performance on gobblers at moderate ranges. Part of Winchester's trusted Super-X line, these shells deliver dense, consistent patterns with excellent penetration—perfect for spring or fall turkey hunting where you need solid head/neck knockdown power without going to premium tungsten prices.

Each shell contains a heavy 1-1/2 oz payload of copper-plated #5 lead shot (approximately 250–260 pellets) at 1260 fps, providing strong downrange energy, good pattern retention, and effective penetration through tough turkey vitals. The copper plating increases shot hardness to resist deformation, while Grex buffering helps the pellets stay rounder and flow smoothly through tight turkey chokes (extra-full recommended), resulting in tighter, more forgiving patterns at typical turkey distances.

The 2-3/4" hull fits any standard 12-gauge shotgun (no 3" or 3-1/2" magnum chamber required), with clean-burning powder, reliable non-corrosive primers, and reloadable hulls for consistent ignition in the woods.

#5 shot strikes a popular balance for turkey hunters: higher pellet count than #4 for denser patterns and more forgiveness, while still providing enough pellet size for clean penetration on head/neck shots—effective out to 40–50 yards when properly patterned.
