The Aguila 1CHB1218 delivers consistent pattern density and reliable ignition for upland bird hunting and clay sports. This standard velocity 12-gauge load combines proven powder formulations with quality shot to provide effective range and clean kills on small game.
What Makes This Different
Aguila's manufacturing process ensures uniform shot distribution and consistent velocities across the entire production run. The standard velocity design reduces felt recoil compared to high-velocity alternatives while maintaining effective downrange energy. Quality control standards result in reliable primer ignition and consistent chamber pressures shot after shot.
Key Features
- Standard velocity reduces felt recoil for extended shooting sessions
- 1-1/8 ounce shot charge provides optimal pellet count for #8 shot
- 2.75-inch hull fits all 12-gauge shotguns including 2.75" chambers
- Consistent powder charge ensures reliable cycling in semi-automatic shotguns
- #8 shot size ideal for dove, quail, and clay target shooting
- Brass-plated steel head construction for reliable extraction
- 25-round box packaging protects shells during transport and storage
Field performance centers on the #8 shot's ability to deliver dense patterns at typical hunting ranges of 20-35 yards. The pellet energy remains sufficient for clean kills on dove and quail while providing excellent clay target breaks. Standard velocity reduces barrel wear compared to magnum loads, extending firearm service life. Weather-resistant primer sealing maintains reliability in humid conditions common during early hunting seasons.
