Winchester built its Super-X low recoil 00 buckshot for control. It kicks less than full-power buckshot, so you can get back on target faster. Even so, each 2-3/4″ shell still carries 9 pellets of 00 buck. In other words, you keep the payload you trust while taming the kick that slows you down.
Why Choose Low Recoil 00 Buckshot?
Full-power buckshot can produce sharp recoil. That slows follow-up shots and can cause a flinch. Instead, Winchester tuned this load (part #XB1200LR) for a softer push. As a result, it’s easier to shoot well, especially during long practice sessions.
Buffered for Tight Patterns
Granulated buffer surrounds the pellets inside the wad. It protects them from deforming when the shell fires. Therefore, rounder pellets leave the muzzle, and patterns stay tight at typical home-defense and training distances.
Winchester’s sturdy hulls and reliable primers also help each shell fire and cycle consistently.
