Aguila 1CHB1216 12 gauge birdshot loads deliver reliable, affordable ammunition for upland game and bird hunting. Built on standard velocity performance, these rounds feature 1 1/8 oz of #6 shot in a 2.75" shell—a classic, proven combination that handles dove, quail, pheasant, and similar medium-range bird work without breaking the bank. Aguila has earned a solid reputation in the shotshell market by balancing quality construction with accessible pricing, making these loads a sensible choice for hunters who value dependability over premium bells and whistles.
The #6 shot size offers a good middle ground for most upland shooting: enough pellet count for a decent pattern density at hunting distances, yet with pellets substantial enough to cleanly take birds without excessive pattern string-out. Standard velocity keeps felt recoil moderate, which matters during a long day in the field when you're working behind a dog or glassing for passing flocks. The 2.75" hull is the standard platform for most 12 gauge shotguns, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of semi-autos, pumps, and over-unders in use today.
You're buying this in practical bulk—a case of 10 boxes totaling 250 rounds—so you can stay loaded through the season without constant restocking. Aguila ammunition has a track record of consistent ignition and reliable function across different shotgun platforms. If you hunt birds regularly and prefer to spend your money on gas, dog food, and hunting trips rather than premium ammunition, these loads are worth a close look.

Yes—these 2.75" shells are standard 12 gauge ammunition compatible with virtually all 12 gauge shotguns, including semi-automatics, pump actions, and break-actions. Always verify your shotgun's chamber length (2.75", 3", or 3.5") before purchasing. These are 2.75" loads.
#6 shot is well-suited for upland birds like dove, quail, and pheasant at typical hunting ranges. The pellet size offers a balance between pattern density and knockdown energy for these applications. Your specific results will depend on your shotgun's choke and shooting distance.
Standard velocity rounds like these generate less recoil, making them easier to shoot accurately over repeated shots and more comfortable during long hunting days. The trade-off is slightly lower energy downrange compared to magnum or heavy loads. For typical upland bird hunting at normal ranges, standard velocity is a practical, proven choice.
Each case contains 10 boxes of 25 rounds each, totaling 250 rounds of Aguila 12 gauge 2.75" #6 birdshot.
