12 GAUGE MINISHELL® BUCKSHOT
1 3/4 in.
5/8 Ounce
4Buck (7pellets) and 1Buck (4pellets) Shot
1,200 ft/sec.
I KNOW! LET"S CALL THEM 12 GUAGE EXTRA SHORT!
Whilst out on the quest for
"WTH does the LGS actually have in stock"
I found a box of affordable 9mm hollowpoints (huzzah!)
and boxes of Aguila Mini Shotgun Shells. Locally they caried a buckshot combo, but Aguila also makes the cute little
things in birdshot and slugs.

The things hearken back to days of yore and trying to find 2" shells for older side-by-sides.
But they have a great place for the solution to "reduced load/ extra capacity" in a pump, if you can get them to cycle
Low And Behold, I just happen to have a Mossburg 500 ( which everybody says likes the things)
and picked up a little rubber wedge thing that makes them cycle REALLY reliably!
I can get 11 into the Mossberger ! and the shell holder bolted to the stock will hold 10!
and the combination of 1Buck and 4Buck makes for a great close range option that won't penetrate 15 walls
and carry through the forest into the neighbors....
So with the 300 Lumen fucussing LED flashlite attached now I have a great system for Mrs Marvel who is recoil sensitive.
As I sit around trying to not think too much, I came across all sorts of websites on
making your own short shells. esp using roll crimps. then improvised wax loads, and way too much wierd crap.
Soooo now I have yet another rabbit hole to fall down.... Short Shells and Roll Crimps.
thoughts, comments, experiences?
