Winchester Super-X .410 in this 3 inch loading sends 11/16 ounce of #6 shot out the muzzle at 1135 feet per second, and it arrives 25 rounds to the box under model number X4136. Super-X is one of the longest running names in American shotshells, and this is the small bore version of that everyday hunting load. The #6 pellet size sits in the useful middle ground, small enough to build a dense pattern and large enough to carry to reasonable range. If you own a light shotgun and you actually hunt with it, this is the shell to keep in the truck.
Why Shooters Keep Reaching for Winchester Super-X .410
The smallest common shotgun bore has a reputation as a starter gun, and that sells it short. What it really offers is a shotgun almost anyone can carry all day and shoot without flinching. The limitation is payload, which is why the 3 inch hull matters here. It holds 11/16 ounce of shot, considerably more than a short shell in the same bore, and that extra charge is the difference between a novelty and a working gun.
Pair that payload with #6 pellets and you have a genuine small game load. Squirrel hunters, rabbit hunters and anyone dealing with pests around a property get a pattern with enough pellets to be forgiving and enough pellet weight to finish the job cleanly. It is a load you can hand to a young shooter in the morning and carry yourself in the afternoon.
Load Highlights
- 11/16 ounce of #6 shot, a balanced mix of pellet count and individual pellet energy
- 3 inch shell for the added capacity that makes the heavier charge possible
- 1135 feet per second at the muzzle, a steady speed that keeps patterns tight
- 25 rounds per box, sized for a hunting season rather than a single outing
- Catalogued as model X4136, so reordering exactly the same load is straightforward
- Built on the long running Super-X recipe with uniform performance box after box
Winchester Super-X .410 by the Numbers
Here are the figures in one place. The shell is a .410 Bore hull measuring 3 inches, loaded with 11/16 ounce of #6 shot at 1135 feet per second, sold in 25 round boxes as model X4136. Keep that model number handy, because it is the fastest way to make sure you are buying the same load twice. Shot charges and pellet sizes in this bore look similar on a shelf label, and the code removes the guesswork.
The moderate velocity is a deliberate choice. In a bore this small, pushing shot too hard tends to open patterns up rather than tighten them, so 1135 feet per second is the sweet spot between reach and pattern quality.
Getting the Most From It
Check your chamber first. A 3 inch shell needs a shotgun chambered for 3 inch shells, and many older guns in this bore are cut for 2.5 inch only. The marking is usually stamped on the barrel. Once you have confirmed it, pattern the load on paper at the ranges you actually shoot so you know where the edges of your pattern fall with your choke.
Storage is easy. Cool, dry, off the concrete and out of a hot vehicle is all it takes to keep shells reliable for years. If you are restocking, it is worth going through our wider ammunition selection while you are here so everything ships together.
This Winchester Super-X .410 load is proof that a light shotgun can be a real hunting gun, and it comes from Winchester, a name that has been loading shotshells for well over a century. Grab a box, pattern it, and put it to work. This ammunition ships straight to your door wherever state and local law allows.
