Re: Aguila mini shells
26Yeah, what K9s said. They work in my Mossberg 500 with the adapter. I can load 9+1 (vs 5+1) shells and they feed fine but I would not use them in a high stress situation. They are fun though.

How is the accuracy on those bird shot shells?NuJudge wrote: Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:29 pm The mini shells also come loaded with bird shot. For instructing a new shooter, these are wonderful. The shot charge in these is 5/8 oz, IIRC. That is enough shot to shoot Skeet. The typical American shotshell is loaded with an ounce-and-an-eighth, which is way more than necessary, and the additional recoil contributes to fatigue.
My Skeet handholds in 12 gauge contain about 3/4 oz of shot, with which I can shoot my usual score of 22 in Skeet, maybe a 25.
Probably more than that. I don't really know how much. Their web site says it comes in 7 1/2, 8, 9 but it holds probably enough to kill a clay pigeon.
Price and availability are a problem. I wish they were inexpensive.NuJudge wrote: Mon Nov 25, 2019 8:14 am Accuracy is fine, and patterning seems good also. I have not shot them on a patterning board, but I have shot Skeet with them quite a number of times, with scores that are my average, 21 or 22, sometimes a 25.
They are great for teaching a newcomer using a double barrel shotgun, giving far less recoil than an ounce-and-an-eighth. The problem is they cost almost twice as much, and they come in the weird 20-round boxes.
