Description
If you've been shooting clays for any length of time, you've probably had Winchester AA shells in your vest. These loads have been the go-to choice for competitive and recreational clay shooters since 1965, and this Super Sport version is purpose-built for the job.
The shell contains 1-1/8 ounce of #8 lead shot that's been hardened with antimony for tighter, more consistent patterns. That extra shot weight is what gives you the confidence to break targets at distance, and the #8 size gives you the pellet density needed to make solid contact when you need it. Running at 1300 fps, you've got the velocity to flatten your trajectory and reduce the lead you need to take, which matters when you're calling pairs.
Winchester AA Wad and Recoil Reduction
The AA wad design is engineered to dampen felt recoil without sacrificing pattern consistency. For someone shooting high volume throughout the day or event, this makes a real difference. Combined with best-in-class primers and clean-burning powder, these shells shoot the same way shot after shot, and your gun stays cleaner too.
Durability Built In
The high-strength plastic hull with brass head means you can reload these if you're into that, so you get more value from your shooting investment. Winchester didn't cut corners on the components, and that shows up when you're pushing through boxes on tournament day or a long practice session.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between #8 and #7.5 shot for sporting clays?
Both #8 and #7.5 are solid choices for sporting clays work. The #8 gives you more pellets in the same shell weight, which creates denser patterns and works well for most standard targets. #7.5 offers slightly larger pellets with a bit more individual energy, which some people prefer for longer-range shots. Many shooters find little practical difference between them on the course.
Are these shells reloadable?
Yes. Winchester AA shells come with high-strength plastic hulls and brass heads specifically designed for reloading. If you reload, these shells will give you good value over time since the hulls hold up to multiple reloading cycles.
Will these work in my semi-automatic shotgun?
The 1300 fps velocity is well-suited for most semi-automatics. That said, some older or softer-shooting semi-autos might need higher velocity to cycle reliably. If you're not sure your gun will cycle them, start with a box to test, or check with your shotgun's manual.
How do Winchester AA shells compare to other target loads on the market?
Winchester AA has been the benchmark target shotshell for decades. The combination of hard shot, premium wads, quality primers, and consistent powder loads means you get the same performance shot to shot. They tend to pattern slightly tighter than budget options and deliver cleaner burning that keeps your gun running better throughout a long day of shooting.
