250rds – 12 Gauge Winchester AA Xtra-Lite 2-3/4" 1oz. #8-1/2 Shot Ammo Details

We are always amused when little children include fractions in their ages; saying “I’m eight-and-a-half years old,” as if that distinguishes them from dopier, less experienced eight-year-olds.

The difference between #8-1/2 and #8 shot is a lot more significant, however. This Winchester AA Xtra-Lite 12 Gauge target load’s single ounce of shot contains 87 more pellets than it would have had it been loaded with #8 shot. That means you’re chucking around 21% more pellets at the clay with each trigger pull!

And you won’t have to put up with very much recoil in the process. This 2-3/4 dram equivalent shell is by no means weak, although its cooler muzzle velocity and lighter-than-necessary column do have a welcome effect on felt recoil. So too does Winchester’s hinged wad, which collapses on ignition to increase shooter comfort in addition to preserving the pellet sphericity requisite for tight patterning.
