Description
Winchester AA Super Handicap loads have earned their reputation with competitors for over 50 years. These 2-3/4 inch shells load a full 1-1/8 oz payload of hardened lead shot, traveling at 1250 feet per second to deliver the reach and pattern density you need when shooting back line handicap distances or far targets in sporting clays.
What Makes AA Super Handicap Different
Winchester engineered the AA line specifically for shooters who refuse to compromise. The high-strength hull is reloadable, meaning you can run these through your press multiple times and keep saving money downrange. The wad design reduces felt recoil while keeping shot consistent and tight in the pattern, and the hard shot won't deform like softer loads. All this adds up to better breaks and more confidence at the clay.
Built for Serious Target Work
These loads use clean-burning powder and premium primers that ignite reliably shot after shot. That consistency is what separates target ammo from everything else. You're not guessing on performance between boxes, and your reloads stay predictable. Whether you're running trap, skeet, or working longer distances in sporting clays, you get the same performance you practiced with.
No Filler, All Function
There's nothing flashy about Winchester AA, and there doesn't need to be. The #8 shot size works well across all three clay disciplines, and 3 dram equivalent powder charge gives you the punch to break targets cleanly. If you've already found success with this shell, you'll appreciate having it back in stock. If you're new to the AA line, you're grabbing ammunition that's proven itself with thousands of competitive shooters nationwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of shooting is the Winchester AA Super Handicap best suited for?
These loads are engineered for competitive and recreational target shooting, particularly trap, skeet, and sporting clays. The heavy 1-1/8 oz payload and 1250 fps velocity work well at longer handicap distances and far targets where you need extra reach and pattern density.
Can I reload Winchester AA Super Handicap hulls?
Yes. The high-strength plastic hull with brass base is specifically designed for reloading, making these shells cost-effective for shooters who reload their own ammunition. The durable construction holds up through multiple reloading cycles better than most target shells.
How does the #8 shot compare to other sizes in the AA line?
Number 8 shot is the most versatile choice across all clay target disciplines. It provides good pattern density for tight breaks without excessive recoil compared to 7.5 shot. Most competitive shooters use #8 as their standard for trap, skeet, and sporting clays work.
What's the difference between AA Super Handicap and AA Heavies?
Super Handicap loads run 1250 fps velocity, while standard Heavy loads are loaded to lower velocities around 1145 fps or lower with 3 dram equivalent. The 1250 fps Super Handicap delivers more velocity for longer range target work and shoots noticeably harder, making it better for back-line handicap shooting.
