Can someone explain what the point is of these things. I recently cleaned out an estate and found about 150-200 rounds of various types similar to the pic
They're all aguila mfg. From what I could find on them they don't really cycle that well in pump guns and semi auto appear to be out of the question. |
| My 870 will feed them only if the gun is held level and steady. It would be great if they worked perfectly as you can have 10+ rounds in your gun. I wonder what the length cut off is for reliable feeding in an 870, maybe just a hair longer, these would work and you get 2+ more rounds in the gun. Hmmm |

For fun and to make people ask questions. Almost no recoil, work great for shooting rats around the hog feeder or pigeons around the barn.  These are slugs how much of the rat/pigeon is left? They are also offered in birdshot. And dual load with 7-#4 bb'S & 4 #1 buck. |

What would be a good place to get some of these? Midway USA A lot of the online ammo sellers have them. Aguila is a good quality ammo maker. Even though they're in fuckin' Mexico. |

Wow, is that Midway price the norm? By the time you get done with shipping those will be over $1.00/round! Just depends on where you find them IN STOCK at. I've seen them range from $10-25 a box. It also depends on what round you get. ETA: The price of the dual load from Midway is a couple dollars higher than I've normally seen though, but the #7 1/2 shot is around normal price maybe plus a dollar. |

What would be a good place to get some of these? DFW I'm still inventorying all of it but I'm going to unload these along with some 30-06 and .38. The .22 I'm keeping.

But yea let me know which rounds you have cause I want some of them. ETA: And you're an ass for keeping all the .22 cause that's a nice amount.

Quoted: There was also that mag fed shotty from South Africa that used those mini shells. There were a couple of shotguns made expressly for these shells years ago that I know of, one pump and one semi, neither would work with std. shells and, not surprisingly, neither caught on/lasted long. I doubt many were made. |

Quoted: I have looked into them. I wish they would work in a remington 870 thou...  Some 870s and 590s feed them okay, very hit or miss. An 870 can be modified to feed them more reliably, but it makes them less reliable with longer loads. Not worth it iMHO. Win 1300s are the most likely of the "big three" to feed them reliably out of the box, but I had one that didn't. They are great for light snake/pest loads in singles and doubles, though. I always keep some around. |
