The Aguila 1CHB1216 delivers consistent patterns and reliable ignition for upland bird hunting and clay target sports. This standard velocity 12-gauge load combines proven performance with affordable pricing, making it a preferred choice for high-volume shooting activities.
What Makes This Different
Aguila's manufacturing process emphasizes consistent powder charges and uniform shot distribution, resulting in predictable patterns downrange. The standard velocity design reduces felt recoil compared to high-velocity alternatives while maintaining effective energy transfer. Quality brass-plated steel cases provide reliable extraction and feeding in semi-automatic shotguns.
Key Features
- Standard velocity reduces felt recoil for extended shooting sessions
- 1-1/8 ounce shot charge delivers dense, effective patterns
- Size 6 shot optimized for small to medium upland birds
- 2.75-inch shell length fits all 12-gauge chambers
- Brass-plated steel cases ensure reliable extraction
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
- Manufactured to SAAMI specifications for consistent performance
Field testing demonstrates effective pattern density at typical hunting ranges of 25-35 yards. The size 6 shot provides sufficient penetration for quail, dove, and similar game birds while minimizing meat damage. Standard velocity loads cycle reliably in gas-operated semi-automatics and produce minimal barrel heating during extended clay target sessions.
