The Super Speeds have a non reloadable hull ,You can sell AA hulls for 2-5 cent if you don't reload. Or at least almost no loads listed for that hull and the hull dosn't last .
A AA hull is good for 10+ loads most of the time.
The SS loads use the cheapest wads, powder and soft cheap shot. this results in poor patterens ( the high speed hurts the patteren also).

With shells you get what you pay .

the super speeds are more or less a gimmick, they want you think you are getting a good shell, when actually the super speeds were developed to cut the cost of manufacture. the sad thing is they really arent that much cheaper in price then most everything else, so honestly winchester is benefitting more from the cut of the cost then you as the consumer would benefit. there fine for just popping off rounds but if you want better performance go with the AA's they are worth the dollar more a box.

If you're shooting from the 16 yd line, I really don't think you'll see any difference. As stated before, they're just a cheaper shell and not made for reloaders. At our club, they sell mostly the Remington 'Gun Club' shells. Same diff, cheap case, not really made for reloading. There's more 25's shot with the cheap shells than there are with higher priced or reloads. It would be interesting to cut open both the SS and the AA and see what the difference is (if any), in the wads.

Ive done that and can tell you, the shot in the super speeds is a softer lead and the AA has hardened shot. The super speed has a paper wad and the AA has a plastic wad with 4 pettles. regular lead shot is cheaper then hardened shot, paper wads are cheaper then plastic wads. thats the difference
