Frequently Asked Questions
Is #8 shot the right size for trap and skeet shooting?
#8 shot is one of the most popular choices for both trap and skeet due to its dense pellet count and effective range for close to mid-distance clay targets. The smaller pellet size means more pellets per ounce, increasing the likelihood of a solid hit and a satisfying break. For longer crossing shots in sporting clays, some shooters prefer #7.5, but #8 is an excellent all-around target load for most clay games.
Are Winchester AA hulls worth reloading?
Absolutely — Winchester AA hulls are widely considered among the best reloadable shotshell cases available. Their robust construction allows them to be reloaded multiple times while maintaining a reliable crimp and consistent chamber fit. Many serious competitive shooters reload AA hulls to reduce cost-per-round without sacrificing the performance they've come to rely on.
Will these shells cycle reliably in semi-automatic shotguns?
Winchester AA 1-1/8 oz target loads at 1,145 fps are designed to cycle reliably in most semi-automatic shotguns set up for standard target loads. If your semi-auto is gas-operated and properly cleaned and adjusted, these shells should function without issue. Always consult your firearm's manual to confirm the recommended minimum load specifications, as some lightweight or inertia-driven actions may prefer heavier or faster loads.
