The Winchester AA Light Target delivers consistent performance for clay sports with reduced felt recoil and reliable ignition. This 12-gauge load features Winchester's proven AA hull construction and balanced powder charge for repeatable shot patterns.
What Makes This Different
Winchester's AA Light Target uses a specialized powder blend that reduces felt recoil by approximately 15% compared to standard target loads while maintaining velocity consistency. The one-piece plastic wad system provides superior gas seal and shot protection during barrel travel. Each hull undergoes quality control testing to ensure uniform wall thickness and primer pocket dimensions.
Key Features
- 1-1/8 ounce of #8.5 lead shot for optimal clay breaking performance
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all 12-gauge shotguns with 2.75" or longer chambers
- Reduced recoil design minimizes shooter fatigue during extended sessions
- AA hull construction provides consistent extraction and ejection
- 209 primer delivers reliable ignition in all weather conditions
- Uniform shot pattern maintains 70% pellets in 30-inch circle at 40 yards
- Factory-sealed brass head prevents moisture infiltration
Competitive shooters rely on this load for trap, skeet, and sporting clays where shot consistency matters more than raw power. The #8.5 shot size provides dense patterns with sufficient energy to break standard clay targets at regulation distances. Temperature-stable powder maintains velocity within 25 fps across temperature ranges from 0°F to 100°F.
