Winchester has debuted its Super Pheasant Diamond Grade shotshell ammunition, bringing eight-percent antimony, copper-plated shot to the upland fields in a five-shot configuration. Initial offerings include 2-3/4 inch for 12- and 20-gauge, as well as a hard hitting 3-inch 12-gauge load. Velocities for 2-3/4-inch loads sit around 1300 fps, while three-inch loads bump that number up to 1350 fps.

A key differentiator in this shotshell is its namesake Diamond Grade Shot. The eight-percent antimony (hardening alloy) is four times more antimony than standard target loads, resulting in the hardest copper-plated shot available to shooters. The shot is also precision sorted, meaning only the roundest shot is used. This results in tighter patterns and more downrange energy whether shooting clays, or fast-flying pheasants.
