Aguila 1CHB4138 High Velocity 410 Gauge Birdshot - 2.5" 1/2 oz #8 Shot, 25 Rounds/Box, 20 Boxes/Case

The Aguila 1CHB4138 High Velocity .410 Gauge Birdshot is a compact, fast-moving round engineered for shooters who need reliable performance in a smaller platform. With a muzzle velocity of 1275 ft/sec and a half-ounce payload of #8 shot, these 2.5-inch shells deliver consistent pattern density for upland hunting, target practice, and close-range work where a .410 excels. Whether you're hunting quail and grouse, shooting clay targets, or running drills at the range, Aguila's load meets or exceeds industry standards while keeping costs reasonable—ideal for high-volume shooters who don't want to compromise on consistency.

The #8 shot size is the sweet spot for .410 hunting and sport shooting. It's fine enough to produce tight patterns at typical upland distances, yet aggressive enough to deliver clean, ethical kills on small game. At 1275 fps, this is a genuinely hot .410 load that maximizes the ballistic potential of lighter shotguns and shorter-barreled guns. The 2.5-inch case length means broad compatibility with standard .410 chambers; these will cycle through most .410 shotguns without issue.

You get 25 rounds per box and a full case of 20 boxes, making this a practical buy for serious .410 shooters who want to stock up and keep costs down. Aguila ammunition is manufactured to SAAMI and CIP specifications, so you can count on safety and reliability regardless of your shotgun's origin or age.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these 2.5-inch shells fit my .410 shotgun?

Yes, provided your shotgun is chambered for standard .410 bore. The 2.5-inch case length is the most common .410 length and will cycle through virtually all .410 shotguns, from vintage single-shots to modern semi-automatics.

What game can I hunt with #8 birdshot in a .410?

The #8 shot size is well-suited to upland birds like quail, grouse, and dove at typical hunting distances. It also works for small-game applications and clay target sports. For larger game or longer-range work, consider a larger shot size.

How does the 1275 ft/sec velocity compare to other .410 loads?

This is a high-velocity .410 load. The extra fps helps flatten the trajectory and extend effective range compared to standard-velocity .410 ammunition, making it a good choice for shooters who want maximum performance from their smaller-gauge gun.

What's included in a case purchase?

Each case contains 20 boxes of 25 rounds each, for a total of 500 rounds of Aguila .410 birdshot.
