Winchester AA Light Target 12ga 2-3/4" 1-1/8oz #8 1145fps — Box

The Winchester AA Light Target 12 Gauge 2-3/4" 1-1/8oz #8 at 1,145 FPS is the high-pellet-count version of the legendary AA Light Target — a heavier payload of #8 shot at reduced velocity for dense, consistent patterns with manageable recoil. The 1-1/8oz charge of #8 delivers more pellets in the air than #7.5 loads, making it ideal for skeet and close-range sporting clays where pattern density is the priority.

Built on the legendary AA platform with the reloadable AA hull that competitive shooters and handloaders have trusted for nearly 60 years. The AA hull is widely regarded as the best reloadable shotshell hull on the market — consistent crimps, durable construction, and reliable primer pockets that hold up through multiple reloading cycles. Whether you're shooting registered skeet, practicing at your local club, or running sporting clays stations, the Winchester AA delivers the consistency that serious shotgunners demand.
