Winchester AA X-tra Light Target Load Shotshells – 12 Gauge – #8 Shot – 250 rounds

Shot my first 28g only round of Sporting clays and was impressed with the performance and soft recoil.

I've been shooting 28 gauge for decades and when Winchester first brought out the HS hull I bought a case or two. Once I shot them I tried to reload and they were the worst hull due to a super stiff case mouth. Well I'm here to write a new review. Apparently Winchester listened to us and changed the design of the 28 gauge HS hull and now they are as easy to reload as the original AA hull. I have recently loaded a couple thousand hulls and have had almost no problems with the once fired AA hull. Thanks Winchester for making a highly reusable/reloadable hull for the 28 gauge. I will surely be buying more new hulls so I can reload them.

Been using these shells for 30 years. I love the new hulls. Reloads wonderful. Out of literally 1000’s upon 1000 factory loads I have only had on failure. Hulls can be loaded many times even with heavy loads. These light loads work good on blue quail and are great for young and old skeet and trap shooters. My kids were raised on them and a similar reload using Winchester components.

We used these AAs again with some friends and they did not disappoint! Our first 5 shots were all busted clays!

With over 50,000 registered Sporting clay targets, I will be the first to tell you that AA Winchester shells out perform every other target load out there !

Ive shot thousands of Winchester AA loads. They perform day in and day out. What I really enjoy about AAs is the option for 9 shot. Also if you shoot a semiauto the clean burning powder in AAs means less cleaning and more shooting! Thats always a good combination.

Poor quality; I hate the sound of the shot rattling in the shells, every box has had one or two fail to fire due to bad primers, the shell tubes are misshapen and do not feed well in Remington 1100's, thin tube mouths and do not reload well and the darn crimps open up in my shooting vest spilling shot.

I have won many events shooting AA’s. My Dad turned me on to this product in the 1970’s, never a misfire and reloadable 12-15 times with proper diligence.

When i go to Sparta, i register for the Grand and then load up my car with WW128 ammo. If I have a good day at the Grand i do not want to think that the ammo got in the way of me winning. In fact, the AA128 loads have always shot like champs. That is comforting to know that i can count on the Winchester AA loads to come through when the stakes are high.

The AA Super Sport 1300' Excells! As a winning tool for shooting and winning desired disciplines. Excellent at exaggerated yardage shootoffs.

I've trusted AA trap loads for 45 years of trap, and more recently skeet and clays. Initially, I chose the brand for the uniform patterns it delivered in multiple target shotguns. I shoot new shells for registered birds, and then reload with genuine Winchester components for practice rounds. I have NEVER had a failure of a new AA shell or of a reload. Over the years, I've experimented with other brands of shells and components, but have found none more consistent, or that outperform Winchester.

Winchester AAs are first rate shotshells - always consistent and dependable. The Xtra-lite load kicks less and still crushes skeet targets. I always look for a sale price, free shipping deal, factory rebate, or in this case, all three.

Best lite load in the market. Eliminates neck injury and flinching. Perfect patterns and clean clay breaks.

Good product but is only a good value with the annual Winchester rebate and free shipping from Bass Pro.

Winchester always makes a fine product. These rounds have light recoil. but smash targets. All 350 pellets are moving well. I think it actually patterns better than a 1 1/8. Plus, you shoot and feel better after 100 rounds.

Lack of inventory is no way to treat a loyal Bass Pro client and 3rd generation Winchester firearms user. Why run the advertising when no product can be found in store inventory? Very frustrating. Will use Federal or Herters brand shotshells which perform well and usually cost less. Michael P Nickoloff

My boys (15, 12) and I are newer to sporting clays and I wanted a lighter recoil load. These extra light loads are perfect and with a 12 gauge o/u the recoil is negligible. We have gone with a neighbor who shoots often and the only drawback I have found is in his semi auto it would not cycle at times.

I know that there is great demand but, that shouldn't mean quality has to suffer also. I bought some cases of 410 and 28 gauge AA's and the crimps on a lot of them was bulging out and there was a lot of loose pellets. I had to run them through my reloader crimping stage to get these shells right. I used to use the old style compression shells and they were much better. The old style even seemed to hold up much longer for reloading, especially the case mouth. I even had some dudes. Definitely not the same Winchester I grew up on.

Took my wife and kids sporting clay shooting and it turned out great. I recently restored a 20 gauge model 12 and was concerned about the recoil, especially for the ladies. I picked up some of the low recoil AA's, I couldn't believe how soft they shot. Beautiful light gun and performed awesome with this shell! We will all be going again soon thanks in part to the painless low recoil AA!

When I eventually called (3 weeks after placing order), I learned that my order had never been shipped. I was able to cancel the order. This was my first, and will be my last, attempt to order from Bass Pro Shops. A disappointing experience.
