The Aguila 1CHB1217 delivers consistent performance for upland game and clay target shooting with precision-loaded #7.5 shot in standard velocity 12-gauge shells. This ammunition combines reliable ignition with uniform shot patterns that maintain effectiveness at typical bird hunting ranges.
What Makes This Different
Aguila's quality control process ensures consistent powder charges and shot distribution across every shell in the box. The 1-1/8 ounce shot load provides sufficient pellet count for clean kills on dove, quail, and similar-sized game birds. Standard velocity loads reduce felt recoil compared to high-velocity alternatives while maintaining effective downrange energy.
Key Features
- 1-1/8 ounce of #7.5 lead shot for optimal pellet density
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all 12-gauge shotguns
- Standard velocity reduces recoil and muzzle blast
- Consistent primer ignition for reliable cycling
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
- Manufactured to SAAMI specifications
- Suitable for both semi-automatic and break-action shotguns
Field testing demonstrates effective patterns out to 35 yards on small game birds, making this load suitable for dove hunting, sporting clays, and trap shooting. The #7.5 shot size provides good penetration on thin-skinned birds while minimizing meat damage. Standard velocity loads cycle reliably in gas-operated semi-automatics without excessive wear on action components.
