Winchester Ammo AA12FL8 AA Low Recoil 12 Gauge 2.75" 26 Gram 980 fps 8 Shot 25ea

Winchester AA Low Recoil 12 Gauge 2.75" shotshell ammunition delivers the target-oriented performance that has made the AA line a staple at clay ranges and upland fields since 1965. This specific load pairs a 26-gram payload of #8 shot with a 980 fps velocity, engineered for shooters who want consistent, clean-burning performance without punishing recoil—ideal for long days of shooting or younger and smaller-frame shooters working on their swing and follow-through.

The AA platform has earned its reputation by combining Winchester's proven primer and powder chemistry with antimony-hardened lead shot for tight, predictable patterns downrange. The brass-head hull and high-strength construction support reloading, making these shells economical for serious clay competitors and practice shooters who cycle thousands of rounds annually. AA Wad Technology keeps your patterns competitive without the flinch factor of full-power loads.

Whether you're breaking targets at your local club, practicing for upland season, or introducing someone new to shotgunning, this low-recoil formulation handles the job with the Winchester reliability you expect. Each box contains 25 shells, sized to fit standard 12-gauge shotguns with 2.75" chambers.
