Aguila 16 Gauge 2.75" High Velocity Birdshot - 1 1/8 oz, #6 Shot, 25 Rounds per Box

Aguila 16 gauge 2.75" high velocity birdshot loads deliver the speed and pattern density you need for upland birds and clay targets without breaking the bank. Built around a 1 1/8 oz charge of #6 shot, these rounds are engineered to move fast and hit hard, giving you the velocity boost that translates to tighter patterns downrange and more reliable kills on doves, quail, and similar game. Each box contains 25 rounds, making them a practical choice for a weekend hunt or a steady supply for regular range work.

Aguila ammunition is built to work dependably in standard 16 gauge shotguns. The high velocity construction is designed to maximize the energy potential of the 2.75" shell format, and the factory uses clean combustible powders to keep chamber fouling and residue buildup to a minimum—important if you're running multiple boxes through your shotgun in a single day. You get consistent, no-nonsense ammo that focuses on performance rather than premium pricing.

#6 shot strikes the sweet spot for most upland hunting: pellets large enough to retain energy at distance, but small enough to deliver the shot density needed for a clean, ethical harvest. Whether you're working brush for grouse and woodcock or breaking clays, this size delivers predictable, effective patterns that have been the workhorse of American bird hunting for generations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shells work in my 16 gauge shotgun?

Yes, Aguila 16 gauge 2.75" shells will function in any 16 gauge shotgun chambered for 2.75" ammunition. Always verify your shotgun's chamber length before loading.

What is #6 shot best used for?

#6 shot is a versatile upland game load, effective on doves, quail, grouse, woodcock, and other medium-sized birds. It's also a popular choice for clay target shooting. The pellet size provides good pattern density while maintaining sufficient energy at typical hunting ranges.

Are these high velocity loads suitable for older shotguns?

High velocity loads generate additional recoil and wear. If you own an older or heirloom shotgun, consult the manufacturer's specifications or a gunsmith to confirm it can safely handle high velocity ammunition. When in doubt, use standard velocity loads.

How much do I get per box?

Each box contains 25 rounds, giving you a practical quantity for a hunting trip, range session, or part of a larger supply.
