Winchester AA Xtra-Lite 12GA 2.75" 1oz #9 Shot - 25 Round Box

The Winchester AA Xtra-Lite 12 Gauge ammunition delivers reduced recoil performance without sacrificing pattern consistency or velocity. This 2.75-inch shell combines Winchester's proven AA hull technology with a lighter 1-ounce payload of #9 shot, making it an excellent choice for youth shooters, recoil-sensitive hunters, and competitive clay sports.

What Makes This Different

The Xtra-Lite design reduces felt recoil by approximately 25% compared to standard 12-gauge loads while maintaining effective downrange performance. Winchester achieves this through optimized powder charges and wad design that cushions the shot column during acceleration. The AA hull construction provides consistent ignition and reliable extraction across semi-automatic and break-action shotguns.

Key Features

• Reduced recoil design with 25% less felt kick than standard loads
• 1-ounce #9 shot payload delivers dense patterns for small game and clays
• 2.75-inch hull length fits all 12-gauge chambers
• AA hull technology ensures consistent performance and reliable extraction
• High-quality shot maintains roundness for improved pattern density
• Optimized wad design protects shot during barrel travel
• Proven primer system provides reliable ignition in all weather conditions

This ammunition excels in competitive sporting clays where fast follow-up shots matter, youth hunting applications where recoil management is critical, and small game hunting scenarios requiring dense shot patterns. The #9 shot size provides excellent performance on dove, quail, and clay targets while the reduced recoil allows for better shot placement and faster target acquisition. The consistent velocities and patterns make this load reliable across different barrel lengths and choke configurations.
