Aguilla Mini Shells

[Old Farmer]

Does anybody know if the Aguilla 12 guage mini shells are available in Canada. If so, where? Also, has anyone had experience using them that they could post?

I have just heard about these shells tonight and I'm curious....

I've shot a few with a buddy. They're neat but they didn't feed so well due to their much reduced overall length. We used a Winchester defender.

If you do a quick search, there was a thread about it I believe.

I think the conclusion was they were nice, light recoiling rounds. They needed a fast and quick pump to cycle correctly in a 870, otherwise they would jam. I am pretty sure that CanAm or another supplier said there was currently no Canadian importer of these shells.

Kind of fun (you can fit more in the tube)... but they won't work in the russian RYS shotgun...

I'm thinking they might expand the, shall we say "versatility" of the little Dlask . . .

I bought some a good while back when you could import from the US. They use Red Dot powder. They cycled OK in my 870 Wingmaster as long as the barrel was pointing below horizontal.
