Winchester Ammo AAM127 AA Heavy Target 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/8 oz 1200 fps 7.5 Shot 25ea

The Winchester AA Heavy Target shotshell has been the standard for clay target shooters since 1965, and for good reason. This 12 gauge load delivers 1 1/8 oz of #7.5 shot at 1200 fps from a 2.75" hull, giving you the consistent, hard-hitting performance that made AA shells a favorite among trap, skeet, and sporting clays competitors. Whether you're working on your swing at the range or stocking up for league season, these shells are built to break targets cleanly and reload predictably.

What sets the AA line apart is Winchester's attention to the details that matter in target shooting. The shot itself is lead alloyed with antimony for hardness and consistent flight, while the AA wad system is engineered to deliver tight patterns downrange. You'll get clean burning from the primer and powder, which means less fouling in your gun and more time shooting instead of cleaning. The brass head and high-strength hull stand up to the rigors of reloading, so if you're the type to recycle your empties, these shells make economic sense over time.

Each box contains 25 rounds, making it easy to grab a few boxes for a day at the range or order by the case when you're serious about your volume. The 7.5 shot size is the go-to for most target applications, offering the balance of pellet count and energy that works across trap and skeet distances. If you're new to shotgun sports or you're a seasoned competitor looking for reliable ammo that won't let you down, AA Heavy Target is the proven choice.
