Winchester Ammo TRGTL128 Super-Target Xtra-Lite 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 oz 1180 fps 8 Shot 25ea

Winchester Super-Target Xtra-Lite 12 gauge ammunition is purpose-built for trap shooters and clay target competitors who want reliable, consistent performance without punishing recoil. Each round delivers a 1 oz payload of #8 shot at 1180 fps from a 2.75" hull, paired with a hinged wad design that cushions the firing impulse and makes extended shooting sessions more comfortable. Whether you're working on your swing at the local trap club or grinding through a sporting clays course, this ammunition produces the tight, repeatable patterns serious shooters depend on, shot after shot.

Winchester backs these loads with over a century of ammunition heritage, and it shows in the consistency. The #8 shot size and light payload make Super-Target Xtra-Lite an efficient choice for clay targets—you get enough pellets downrange to break birds cleanly without excessive powder burn or unnecessary recoil. The clean-burning primer and powder formulation keep your barrel and breech clean, so you spend less time scrubbing and more time shooting.

Each box contains 25 rounds, making it easy to stock up for practice, league nights, or competition. If you shoot trap or sporting clays regularly, Winchester Super-Target Xtra-Lite delivers the accuracy and value that keep shooters coming back.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is #8 shot best used for?

#8 shot is the standard for trap and clay target shooting, where the smaller pellets break birds cleanly and pattern well at typical shooting distances. It's also a common choice for light field shooting and small game where a smaller pellet is appropriate.

Is Winchester Super-Target Xtra-Lite good for competitive shooting?

Yes. Winchester designed this ammunition specifically for trap and sporting clays shooters who need consistent performance and low recoil for sustained competitive sessions. The hinged wad and precision loading produce repeatable patterns match after match.

Does reduced recoil affect pattern or velocity?

The Xtra-Lite designation refers to the recoil-reducing wad design, not a reduction in shot charge or velocity. You still get a full 1 oz of #8 shot traveling at 1180 fps, with the cushioned wad simply absorbing more of the firing impulse to make shooting more comfortable.

How many boxes do I need for a typical clay shooting session?

That depends on your session—a typical trap league round is 25 shots (one box), while a full day of sporting clays can easily run 100–150 rounds or more. We recommend having at least two boxes on hand so you're never caught short.
