Winchester AA Diamond Grade

[Rob!]

Gotta try some. All 7 1/2 - 1 oz or 1 1/8 - standard or fast.

8% antimony! (That's harder than a woodpecker's lips)
Plated shot (sorry trap shooters)
Hi brass I think - but silver so - not likely brass actually.

Yeah, I know - it's not the ammo... Just looking forward to trying some cool new stuff.

Can I have your empties?

Bet they are crap and use just old hunting load hulls but don't know. Sure look like it

I heard on podcast that the 1 oz 1250fps are red hulls. The rest grey.

I am thinking that once I see the price, all desire to try them will be gone.

My quoted price was about the same as regular AA.

Yeah, I know - it's not the ammo...

It's the Indian not the arrow...

But what if the Indians have them winchesters?

They had to build something to compete with the Nitro line

Don't know what they are like but shot and also reloaded a lot of nitro 27's over the years and they were indeed top shelf

Here's a link for a Podcast that has two reps from Winchester ammunition on as guests. Offers some neat insight into some of their manufacturing processes and components.

For sure. Nitro 27's and SC's are great hulls and ammo.
The plated shot and high brass in those Double A's does seem a bit over the top thu.

A lot of 27 yard Trapshooters managed just fine with AA Super Handicaps so I don’t know how much catching up Winchester has to do. And I have never seen a Sporting target that Winchester Supersport and some choke could not break.

Anyone else notice that the remington ammo link in 3cmacs' post copied above shows you can get 3-1/2" Remington Premier Nitro ammo for your .410!!! Is only 1/2 ounce of #8 shot at 1300 fps.

Does it come in 20 or 28?

No wonder Remington keeps going broke....

Deja Vu gentlemen!!!

It's about time some new "Floozy Ammo" hit the market. Is there a little prize in every box? I love it. Old Time shot shell marketing in 2020.

Gentlemen: Sit back and think of all those exotic shot shell combinations, computation, and permutation loads we have seen since the late 1950's. All designed to get that extra target. Whatever is was.

Selling sporting goods is very interesting. Who cares about the fish, catch the customer. And the shot gun shell industry is just the same.

Apparently, from talking to the elderly white haired gentleman at P&D, the Euro's are even worse at putting out exotic shot shells. But maybe this is a different story independent of the North American market.

I have to add one other item. Then there is good ol Tao Fledermaus on U Tube. OMG.

Thanks Rob.

Never heard of 3 1/2 in. .410!!! Looks like a typo!
