The Winchester AA Xtra-Lite 12 gauge ammunition delivers reduced felt recoil without sacrificing the consistent performance clay shooters demand. This 2.75-inch shell loaded with 1 ounce of #7.5 shot maintains the proven AA hull design while offering a lighter shooting experience ideal for extended range sessions and youth shooters.
What Makes This Different
The Xtra-Lite loading reduces recoil energy by approximately 25% compared to standard 12 gauge target loads while maintaining consistent velocities around 1,180 fps. The specialized powder charge creates a softer shooting experience without the sharp snap of full-power loads. Winchester's precision loading process ensures uniform shot patterns and reliable ignition across temperature ranges.
