Aguila Minishells in Shockwave?
Anyone tried the Aguila Minishells in a Shockwave shotgun? They say on the M website it holds 6 rounds. I'm guessing that's 2.75" and one is chambered. If so, in theory at least, it would hold 9 rounds of the minis. They are 7 pellets of #4B and 4 pellets of #1B mixed together. Are the lighter recoil and greater shell count worth the fewer pellets?

It's fine if you disagree. I can't force you to be correct.

A pistol without a round chambered is an expensive paper weight.

I use slugs and the the OpSol Clip to feed 1.75" shells reliably. Hence, 8 + 1 in a pump action. Its nice to have.LDB415 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 15, 2019 4:46 pm Anyone tried the Aguila Minishells in a Shockwave shotgun? They say on the M website it holds 6 rounds.

Re: Aguila Minishells in Shockwave?
I use it exclusively in the Shockwave. Full 12 gauges are a bit tough to handle with the Shockwave. With the mini shells, you're basically getting 20 gauge performance and power, but with far more rounds. It's an excellent compromise.
If you are worried bout the lack of performance in a minishell because you want 12 gauge power, then I suggest SBSing the sucker (on my to-do list this year) or buying a SB Tactical brace for it. Either way you win.
