Winchester Target 12Ga 2.75" - 1-1/8Oz #8 1200Fps 250Rd Case
Winchester Target 12-gauge ammunition delivers the consistent performance shooters need for clay sports, practice, and informal range work. This 250-round case is built on Winchester's heritage of ammunition reliability, offering shooters a dependable choice that won't break the bank. With a 1-1/8 ounce payload of #8 shot and a muzzle velocity of 1200 fps, this 2.75-inch load provides a balanced combination of speed and pattern density suitable for hitting targets at typical trap, skeet, and sporting clays distances.
The #8 shot size is the go-to for target shooting disciplines where precision counts and cost-per-round matters. At 1200 fps, this load delivers predictable velocity for consistent holdover and shot timing—qualities that matter whether you're fine-tuning your technique at 16 yards or running a full round of clays. Winchester's consistent manufacturing keeps shot-to-shot variation minimal, so you can focus on your form, not on surprises.
Buying a full 250-round case makes sense if you're a regular at the range or club. You'll have ammunition on hand for multiple outings without constant resupply runs, and bulk purchasing optimizes your cost per round. This is the kind of straightforward, no-frills ammunition that's built to work—not to impress, just to perform.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Winchester Target ammo good for clay sports?
Yes. The #8 shot size and moderate 1200 fps velocity make this a classic choice for trap, skeet, and sporting clays—disciplines where pattern consistency and cost-effectiveness matter equally.
How much ammo is in a case?
This product is a 250-round case, which breaks down to ten 25-round boxes.
What's the difference between #8 and larger shot sizes?
Smaller shot numbers (like #8) contain more pellets per ounce, creating denser patterns ideal for closer-range precision work. Larger shot penetrates better at distance but with fewer, larger pellets. #8 is the standard for clay target shooting.
Can I use 2.75-inch ammo in my shotgun?
Your shotgun's chamber must be marked 2.75 inches or longer to safely fire 2.75-inch shells. Check your barrel or owner's manual before loading.
