250rds – 20 Gauge Aguila 2-3/4" 1oz. #2 Buckshot Ammo Details

What is Aguila’s 20 Gauge #2 buckshot ammo good for? All kinds of things! According to the manufacturer this shell “puts fear in deer.” It will also serve you well for coyote hunting and plain old target shooting, and it is a suitable selection for home defense as well.

If you’re unfamiliar with #2 buckshot, its pellets are smaller in diameter and lighter in weight than the 00 buckshot pellets more commonly used for hunting and self-defense applications. Of course, smaller pellets take up less space in the hull, which is why this round packs 14 individual pieces of #2 buck and the powder it needs to give that one-ounce barrage of shot a muzzle velocity of 1,220 fps. If you consider its shot column as a whole, this shell’s total muzzle energy is 1,446 ft lbs – aka more powerful than a 5.56 or 223 round at close range.

Aguila is the Mexican army’s primary ammo supplier, and they are very popular for their rimfire cartridges. Their shotshells are of consistent quality, designed to give you consistent ballistic performance and cycling with all makes and models of shotguns.
