Frequently Asked Questions
What clay target sports is Winchester AA #9 shot best suited for?
Winchester AA #9 is an excellent choice for skeet and close-range sporting clays presentations, where targets are broken at shorter distances and a fine, dense pattern is advantageous. The small #9 pellets maximize pellet count within the 1-1/8 oz payload, creating a wider effective pattern that is forgiving on crossing and fast-moving clays. For trap shooting — where targets are engaged at greater distances — many shooters prefer #7.5 or #8 shot, though #9 is still widely used for 16-yard trap.
Is the Winchester AA hull worth saving for reloading?
Absolutely. The Winchester AA hull is widely considered the premier reloadable target hull in the industry. Its strong, consistent construction allows multiple reloading cycles without significant degradation, and it is compatible with a wide range of reloading components and published recipes. Many competitive shooters specifically choose AA factory loads as much for the reusable hull as for the factory performance, making the cost-per-round even lower over time.
Will these shells cycle reliably in semi-automatic shotguns?
Winchester AA 1-1/8 oz loads at 1,145 fps are designed to meet the minimum power factor required by most major target shooting organizations and will cycle reliably in the vast majority of gas-operated and inertia-driven semi-automatic shotguns set up for standard target loads. If your semi-auto is adjusted for lighter 1 oz or reduced-recoil loads, you may need to re-adjust the gas system or spring tension to ensure reliable cycling with this load. Always consult your shotgun's owner manual for recommended minimum load specifications.
