25 Rounds of 7/8 ounce #8 shot 20ga Ammo by Winchester

The amount of recoil energy a shotshell produces upon ignition is determined by five factors: shotgun weight, powder weight, wad weight, shot column weight and muzzle velocity. This AA series 20 Gauge shotshell by Winchester produces exceptionally little recoil thanks to its low muzzle velocity: just 980 feet per second!

You will perceive only about two-thirds as much recoil with this ammo as you would have with a normal target load, which makes it perfect for shooters with injured shoulders, shooters with smaller physiques and shooters who wish to conserve their stamina during a very long day of target shooting. And because its shot column cannot break the sound barrier, this shell’s report is also unusually soft.

In all fairness this shell’s low muzzle velocity isn’t the only reason for its gentle recoil. Its AA wad possesses a hinged midsection that reduces recoil in addition to preserving the pellet sphericity requisite for a tight and narrow pattern. The reloadable shell’s #8 shot suits it for all kinds of target shooting endeavors – just take care that its low muzzle velocity also translates to a steeper trajectory and shorter effective range.
