The Winchester AA Super Sport 28 Gauge 2-3/4-inch #7.5 Lead Shot 3/4 oz Reloadable 25-round box is a premier sub-gauge target shotshell engineered specifically for sporting clays, skeet, trap, and upland bird hunting. A primary friction point in 28 gauge target shooting is pellet deformation during ignition setback and barrel travel, which opens downrange pattern density and creates stray "flyers" on extended clay targets. Winchester resolves these performance limitations by pairing its high-antimony hardened lead shot with a high-velocity 1,300 FPS powder charge and the proven AA one-piece wad system, delivering tight downrange pattern cohesion, reduced forward lead, and crisp target breaks.
The primary technical advantage centers on preserving spherical pellet geometry throughout the entire firing sequence. Loaded with extra-hard lead shot containing elevated antimony levels, the individual #7.5 pellets resist flattening under high setback forces. Paired with Winchester’s compression-molded one-piece AA wad, the internal assembly absorbs initial acceleration forces, protects shot from sidewall barrel friction, and releases a uniform, dense pattern upon exiting the muzzle.
Propelling its 3/4 oz payload at 1,300 FPS, this Super Sport loading shortens time-to-target and reduces the required lead on fast, long-distance crossing clays while maintaining the low felt recoil inherent to the 28 gauge platform. Built with Winchester’s famous high-strength reloadable hulls, clean-burning propellants, and all-weather primers, it minimizes barrel fouling and supports multi-cycle reloading for dedicated handloaders. It is an outstanding selection for competitive sub-gauge sporting clays events, skeet fields, and mourning dove or quail hunting.
