The Aguila 1CHB1606 delivers consistent high-velocity performance for upland game hunting and clay shooting with its precision-loaded 16-gauge shells. This ammunition combines reliable ignition with uniform shot patterns to maximize effectiveness in the field. Each shell contains 1 1/8 ounces of #6 shot in a 2.75-inch hull optimized for standard 16-gauge shotguns.
What Makes This Different
Aguila's high-velocity loading pushes shot charges at speeds exceeding standard field loads, extending effective range and improving penetration on game birds. The company's quality control process ensures consistent powder charges and shot weights across every shell. Mexican manufacturing keeps costs competitive while maintaining performance standards that rival premium domestic ammunition.
