1. Winchester AA Shotshells

Many shooters love a light-kicking 20 gauge for busting clays. This Winchester load of #9 shot will pulverize any clay pigeon within range. Winchester AA shotshells have been the hallmark of quality for many decades now, and they are still a great pick for any shotgun shooter to this day.

2. Winchester AA Super Sport Shotshells

Winchester AA Super Sports throw a heavy load of shot, and are great for when you pick things up a notch. How does 1 1/8 ounces of #8 shot from the famous AA shotshell sound? We can hear those clays breaking all the way from here.

3. Federal Game Load

Federal Game Loads are a great dual purpose load for all shotgun sports. With lead shot sizes #6, #7.5 and #8, a one ounce payload from a 12 gauge shotgun will get the job done quite well.

4. Federal Top Gun Target

Federal's Top Gun Target loads offer the smaller bore shooter a choice between 7/8 ounces of #8 or #9 lead shot. With a muzzle velocity of 1,210 fps, that payload will get there in a hurry.

5. Winchester Super-X High Brass

Are you a .410 bore shooter? That small shotgun needs good ammunition for consistent hits on small targets. Winchester is up to the challenge with a 1/2 ounce load of either #4, #5, #6, or #7 size shot. With that kind of variety out of a 2.5" length .410 load you are well armed for clay pigeon shooting at moderate ranges.
