Overview
The Winchester AA Heavy Target shotshell has maintained its position as a benchmark in target ammunition since 1965. This 20-gauge variant, loaded with #8 shot, is engineered for consistent performance across a range of clay target disciplines, building upon a legacy of technical excellence and a reputation for superior component quality suitable for both competition and subsequent reloading.
Key Features
Precision Component Integration
Each AA Heavy Target shotshell is constructed with meticulously selected and integrated components. The consistent primer ensures reliable ignition, while the carefully metered powder charge stabilizes velocities. The high-strength hull is designed for multiple reloading cycles, providing an economic advantage for high-volume shooters. The plastic wad column is engineered to protect the shot during bore transit and facilitate dense, uniform patterns at target ranges.
Optimized Performance Profile
This 20-gauge load is formulated to deliver a balanced velocity and recoil impulse, optimizing follow-up shot acquisition. The #8 shot size provides a dense pattern suitable for breaking clay targets, particularly in trap, skeet, and sporting clays, where consistent pattern density is critical for target fracture. The manufacturing process maintains tight tolerances to ensure shot-to-shot consistency, directly contributing to repeatable accuracy on the range.
Reloadability Advantage
The Winchester AA hull is widely recognized for its robust construction and excellent post-firing integrity, making it a preferred choice for reloaders. This design characteristic allows for multiple reloading cycles without significant degradation of performance, offering a practical and cost-effective solution for serious competitors and enthusiasts who process their own ammunition.
