410 BORE WINCHESTER AA 2-1/2" 1/2 OZ. #8.5 SHOT (250 ROUNDS)

Have you been smashing up clay targets using a big hammer? How brutish of you! We insist that you put down the instrument and pick up something more civilized: a 410 Bore shotgun, loaded with nothing less than Winchester AA ammunition.

This premium skeet and sporting clays munition is loaded with a somewhat rare type of shot. It’s #8.5, which satisfyingly features a 0.085” pellet diameter. One ounce of #8.5 contains around 450 pellets, which means this shell holds half that many.

We see two basic yet effective tools for tightening pattern density in this ammo. First is hard shot. Winchester’s AA lead is alloyed with 6% antimony, which yields a pellet that stays spherical under intense pressure. Second is the AA wad, which releases shot pellets in a tight bunch.

It’s ironic that 410 Bore ammo costs more than larger 12 Gauge, but at least this ammo’s relatively higher price tag means it qualifies for our free shipping. And if you order anything else at the same time, its shipping will be free, too.
