The Aguila 1C4100BA delivers consistent 00 buckshot performance in the compact .410 gauge platform with high-velocity loads engineered for maximum stopping power. This ammunition bridges the gap between lighter .410 loads and full-size shotgun shells, providing serious defensive capability in a manageable package.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard .410 loads that often underperform with smaller shot sizes, this high-velocity 00 buckshot configuration pushes four .33-caliber pellets at velocities exceeding 1,200 fps. The 1/2-ounce payload matches the pellet count and energy of many compact defensive loads while maintaining the reduced recoil characteristics that make .410 gauge firearms accessible to a wider range of shooters. Aguila's consistent powder charges and quality control standards ensure reliable ignition and uniform patterns.
Key Features
- High-velocity 00 buckshot with four .33-caliber pellets per shell
- 2.5-inch shell length fits standard .410 gauge chambers
- 1/2-ounce payload optimized for defensive applications
- Muzzle velocity exceeds 1,200 fps for enhanced terminal performance
- Consistent brass-plated steel cases with reliable primer ignition
- 25-round boxes with 20 boxes per case (500 total rounds)
- Compatible with all .410 gauge shotguns and revolvers chambered for 2.5" shells
Field testing demonstrates tight pattern retention at defensive distances, with all four pellets typically staying within a 6-inch circle at 15 yards from cylinder bore barrels. The load performs effectively in both long guns and .410 revolvers, making it suitable for home defense, property protection, and close-range hunting applications. The high-velocity design maintains energy downrange while the 00 buckshot size provides adequate penetration for defensive scenarios.
