Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953
Secure Transactions provided with 
Winchester has owned the clay target space since 1965 with their AA shotshells, and this steel version carries on that tradition without compromise. The AA Steel load brings everything that made the original lead AA shells legendary right into the modern clay shooting world with dependable steel shot performance.
These shells load 1 ounce of hardened steel #7.5 shot into a 2.75-inch hull with a proven muzzle velocity of 1450 fps. The 7.5 shot size works especially well for general clay target shooting out to moderate distances, giving you plenty of pellets in the pattern without sacrificing the energy needed to break targets cleanly. The specially designed AA wad system does real work here – it reduces felt recoil during extended range sessions and improves pattern consistency from shot to shot. That matters when you're working on technique or trying to post competitive scores.
Steel shot demands respect in tight choke tubes, and Winchester engineered these shells with that in mind. The non-reloadable high-strength hull handles the rigors of clay shooting while providing reliable performance you can count on. The hard steel pellets maintain tighter patterns compared to lead, which is why these work particularly well with improved cylinder, modified, and full chokes. Clean-burning primers and powder keep your barrels cleaner between sessions compared to some competitive loads.
From practice rounds to serious competition, Winchester AA Steel shells fit naturally into sporting clays, trap, and skeet disciplines. Each box contains 25 shells, a standard practice or competition round, so you can run multiple boxes through a session without worrying about short counts. The consistent velocity and pattern performance let you focus on your technique rather than wondering if your ammunition is the limiting factor.
Yes, steel shot is safe in most shotgun chokes. The hard steel pellets work well with improved cylinder, modified, and full chokes. However, never shoot steel through tight chokes (full or improved modified) unless your barrel is specifically marked as steel-approved, since steel doesn't compress like lead and can damage unrated barrels. Check your barrel markings or your shotgun manual to confirm compatibility.
The 7.5 shot is slightly larger and carries more energy, which works better for longer-distance targets and holds patterns better in wind. Number 8 shot gives you more pellets per shell and tighter patterns at close range. For sporting clays with mixed distances, 7.5 is a solid all-around choice, though many shooters prefer to experiment with both to see what patterns best from their specific gun.
No, these Winchester AA Steel shells use a non-reloadable hull design, so they're single-use shells. Each box contains 25 ready-to-shoot rounds intended for practice and competition.
Steel shot is commonly used where lead isn't permitted due to environmental or facility regulations. It delivers consistent performance for clay sports while being environmentally responsible. The high velocity of this Winchester load at 1450 fps ensures you get the energy you need to break targets effectively.
