We first shared the exciting news about Winchester's new AA Diamond Grade premier target load back in January during SHOT Show (watch the video above). Now, the new line of shotshells is shipping to dealers across the country.

Designed for sport shooters, AA Diamond Grade includes key features that sporting clays aficionados and target shooters will appreciate. One major difference is the AA Diamond Grade Shot. The 8 percent antimony (hardening alloy) is four times more antimony than standard target loads. Additionally, the shot is precision sorted, which means only roundest shot makes the grade to be used.

Winchester AA Diamond grade shotshells retain the famous AA wad, and also includes a high nickel-plated head for smooth extraction.

With four different varieties to choose from, Winchester says its new AA Diamond Grade shotshell target load “is the ultimate in quality and performance.” As such, AA Diamond Grade is designed to deliver more round pellets with higher energy retention downrange for dense, consistent, hard-hitting patterns to crush clay targets.
