Supreme HV is a 1 3/4 oz. Load and 1300fps in the 3 in. Version and 3.5 in. Is 2 +z. Of shot at 1300fps. The double X is usally 2 oz. For 3 in. And 2.25 for 3.5 inch but the speed of those is 1125 Fps. , I believe, both are excellent lead loads.

There are other differences in the powder, wads and the amount of antimony used in the shot. The HV shells should have harder shot than the others.

In the last couple of years however, I have not seen as much difference in the performance of those shells as I did in the past.

The less expensive shells with 1 7/8 oz. of shot will sometimes outperform the others.

Thanks,

Guys I think this is what he is talking about different packaging but all else on box is the same. So is this new packaging or different.

Winchester Classifies them in their Supreme line but in Different groups on their web site.  There is more difference to them than just the box.  Maybe somebody (the OP maybe?) should give Win. Olin a call and find out?
