Mad Jacket Hornet 1 Posted August 4 If buying new 12ga Ammo is Winchester xtra-lite AA #9 shot a viable option or is it too much to use for cowboy shooting? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boulder Canyon Bob# 32052L 344 Posted August 4 It'll certainly work, but at 1180 fps, it's 200 fps faster than the Low Noise/ Low Recoil commonly called Featherlites. Your shoulder will notice the difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 683 Posted August 4 The #9 shot will be useful if shooting at targets in poor repair. A #9 shot bouncing back hurts less than larger shot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will continue to search. Thanks for the info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abilene, SASS # 27489 836 Posted August 4 MJH, they are still called Featherlites by shooters but not by Winchester. The box says "Low Noise Low Recoil" , 26gr of shot, Min. dram equiv. There is still a feather printed on the shell, but you don't see that on the box. The product number is AA12FL8. There are some Federal low recoil shells out there and maybe some others, but not as common. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nickel City Dude 256 Posted August 4 I have a bunch or the Winchester low noise/recoil shells and wile they are light they do not shuck well out of my pedersoli SxS. I find the reloads I make from Remington Gun clubs work better. 7/8 of #8 shot. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kid Rich 571 Posted August 4 The factory gun clubs also shuck very well out of side by sides. kR 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for clearing that up, I dont reload (yet) just trying to get back into cowboy action, it has been a few years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The hulls are ribbed and the brass is rather high for a low velocity load. They mostly worked okay but a few times hulls stuck in my TTN, and nothing else ever sticks in that gun.
