| Aguila shotshells are now hitting these shores and shotsizes range from #8 to #2 lead. It's been a long time since a lead #2 was available in 16ga. I had a hankering for some awhile back ("just in case") and found a couple boxes of '70s vintage Remington Express, but new ammo is now imported from Aquila, although its only a 1 oz load. |

| You'd be hard pressed to find a use for #2 Lead in Pennsylvania. It's not legal for ducks, geese, turkey, woodchuck or other small game. I don't see documentation saying it's illegal for coyote so you might be able to use for hunting them. |

I would also be interested in knowing the hull maker. |

There's an ammo restriction on woodchucks?
|
In PA, woodchuck are considered small game. Lead shot pellets larger than #4 are not permitted for small game. |

....I've shot quite a bit of Aguilla in Mexico.
I wasn't hitting all so hot with the ALTA Velocidad 16ga 1-1/8oz. #4 a few years ago through a MOD choked Model 12, so I brought a few home and sent to Tom Armbrust.
I'll try to find his data if anyone is interested, but they were a Remington hull and Power Piston type wad coming out about 1200FPS . They varied about 25 FPS if I remember right.
The components make sense since I heard that they took over an old Remington ammo factory down in the mainland. The Aguilla 16 gauge hulls are maroon but look exactly like a green 16 ga Remington dimensionally and crimp wise. |

since the bass pro debacle with herter's I was bringing this dead thread back to see if these are truly worth the investment. |
