Minishell

I've used the birdshot for grouse as my buddy bought a case of the stuff for his lil double. We patterned the short buck loads and for shooting inside a room they might be ok. For hunting anything out past 20 yards would likely be safe or get wounded by 1 pellet. The short slugs shot well
I've shot a few rounds of skeet with the Aguilas and they did fine breaking targets with #8 shot

I reload the hulls with black powder loads. Easier to fit a handful in your pocket while hunting
 
Thanks for the input guys Brybenn what choke did you use for the buckshot. I have a mod. and a turkey choke don't know if I would shoot them through the turkey though.

We tried cylinder ic mod and full. The mini buck loads just seem to be soft lead and deform and throw horrible patterns. None were really repeatable or consistent. When compared to better 2.75" or 3" buck loads the proof was it was the mini shells. Full length shells patterned well. Mod and full generally gave great patterns ic choke with flight control worked great
