250 Rounds of 1 ounce #8 shot 12ga Ammo by Winchester AA Xtra-Lite Target Load

This is Winchester’s AA Xtra-Lite line of target ammunition, which is engineered to deliver appreciably gentler recoil with every tug of the trigger. It is perfect for shooters who are still learning the ropes, especially if they are younger or not very heavy. It is equally excellent for shooters whose shoulders aren’t in excellent condition – if you recall living during the Roosevelt administration, then you are quite possibly one of them. Low recoil ammo also provides a welcome advantage if you are attempting to empty out two barrels as quickly and accurately as possible, as it appreciably reduces muzzle flip!

How does this shell minimize recoil? Simple physics, really. Its muzzle velocity is relatively tepid at 1,180 feet per second, and its shot column weighs a single ounce instead of the 1-1/8 ounces allowed during competition. The AA wad also features a compression zone in its center, which enables it to flatten and soak up some recoil force during ignition.

Winchester doesn’t sneak inferior components into their low-recoil shotshells. These 12 Gauge clay-exploders feature hard and spherical #8 lead shot pellets, premium primers, clean-burning powder, and low-brass hulls that will continue to cycle smoothly even after they have been reloaded.
