Aguila 1C1601BA 16 Gauge Buckshot - High Velocity 2.75" 1 1/8 oz #1 Buck Shot, 25 Rounds Per Box (10 Boxes/Case)

Aguila 16 gauge buckshot loads deliver reliable performance for hunting and tactical applications where you need proven shot placement and consistent velocity. These 2.75" shells load 1 1/8 oz of #1 buck at 1250 feet per second—a combination engineered to maintain energy downrange while keeping recoil manageable in lighter 16 gauge platforms. Whether you're hunting deer in close timber or running drills at the pattern board, Aguila's buckshot is built on the principle that performance matters more than hype.

Built with clean-burning powder, these loads minimize fouling in your shotgun's action and barrels, so you spend less time cleaning and more time in the field. The 16 gauge's mild recoil impulse makes followup shots faster and more accurate than 12 gauge alternatives—a real advantage in hunting situations where a second shot might be necessary. Each 25-round box comes as part of a 10-box case, giving you 250 rounds of consistent ammunition.

#1 buck sits in the sweet spot for 16 gauge hunting: larger than #4 for better penetration on game, but with more pellets per shot than larger buck sizes. This density of projectiles increases your probability of connecting when ranges are close and brush is thick. Aguila ammunition is built to strict quality standards, so you can trust each round to perform the same as the last.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shotgun gauges and barrel lengths do these fit?

These are 16 gauge shells with a 2.75" length. They will chamber in any standard 16 gauge shotgun with a barrel rated for 2.75" ammunition. Always verify your shotgun's markings before loading.

What game is #1 buck shot good for?

The #1 buck size is effective for deer hunting at close to moderate ranges, particularly in dense brush or timber where shotguns are the legal or practical choice. Pellet count is higher than larger buck sizes, improving hit probability in hunting situations.

How much is in a case order?

Each case contains 10 boxes of 25 rounds, totaling 250 rounds of ammunition.

Do these loads have less recoil than 12 gauge buckshot?

The 16 gauge platform naturally produces milder recoil than comparable 12 gauge loads. This can improve accuracy on followup shots and reduce fatigue during extended shooting sessions.
