DeaconKC Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Okay just saw these mentioned in the Shotgun defense thread and a thought popped up: Has anyone here used the Aguila mini shells in a 29 Gauge, and how was recoil? My wife is very recoil shy and if these would work I have a light 20 Gauge that would probably work for her. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I have only used them in the 12 ga shockwave. the recoil is light. So I image a 20 ga would be less.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconKC Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 Well crud, just looked at their website and they only make it in 12 Gauge. Seems like it would be a natural for 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finagler 6853 Life Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 FWIW, I put a 28 gauge round in a 20 gauge hull for my daughter. Requires a couple corrugated spacers but she likes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El CupAJoe Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 has anyone tried the mini shells at a match? do you think they would shuck better or worse than standard shells out of a double? mostly just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Several people have tried them with less than stellar results. They are too short to be easily loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they need any modification to feed right. The mossberg UB posted needs an insert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baltimore Ed Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I build 2 inch [oal] 12 ga shells that allow me to get 7 in my 6 rd magazines. I have Marlins, win and norinco 97s and M12s. The Marlins and original winchester seem to feed them pretty good but in the M12s the shell sometimes hits the front of the ejection port causing a problem. Just need to remember to tilt the gun a little. My old norinco trenchgun is just becoming balky with everything. Needs a tear down and cleaning.

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Deacon If your needing something "light" for a 20Ga Coach, look to "Fiocchi Trainer" 20Ga. You may have to find an LGS or retailer to order it in for you, but the ammunition turns a light 20Ga into a Pussy Cat. There actually isn't very much of anything "off the shelf" from the "usual suspects" that can be called "light" for a 20Ga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
