The Winchester AA209 delivers consistent patterns and reliable ignition for competitive clay shooting and upland bird hunting. This premium 20-gauge load combines Winchester's proven AA hull design with precision-measured powder charges for shot-to-shot consistency.
What Makes This Different
The AA209 features Winchester's hard shot pellets that resist deformation during barrel travel, maintaining rounder pellets for tighter patterns downrange. The one-piece hinged wad design provides superior gas seal and consistent shot column protection compared to standard multi-piece wads. Factory-loaded with clean-burning powder, these shells produce minimal fouling and consistent velocities across temperature ranges.
Key Features
- 7/8 ounce of hard #9 shot pellets for dense patterns on small targets
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all 20-gauge shotguns with 2.75" or 3" chambers
- One-piece hinged wad system for consistent shot protection and patterns
- Clean-burning powder formulation reduces barrel fouling
- Brass-plated steel head for reliable extraction
- Factory-crimped for consistent chamber pressure and ignition
- 25 shells per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
The #9 shot size excels at close-range clay targets like skeet and sporting clays, where dense patterns matter more than individual pellet energy. Competition shooters rely on the consistent velocities and tight patterns for breaking targets at 20-30 yard ranges. The 7/8 ounce payload generates manageable recoil while delivering sufficient pellet count for reliable target breaks.
