1 Box of 25 Shells

Finally, it has arrived! A 2 ½ – 2 ⅝ Inch chambered (67 MM) shotshell designed for early American, British, European and other vintage guns, as well as those seeking a softer shooting 16 gauge load. This low pressure (6600 PSI), 1140 feet per second shell is still plenty powerful to bring down feathered and furred game at medium to long distances, as it is loaded with a full 1 ounce of Armusa’s top of the line, ultra-hard 6% antimony magnum shot. This is also a great choice for competition and clay target shooting, as the premium shot is the same as utilized in Armusa’s Competition Series.

    Bought some ARMUSA 16 gauge shells for my grandfather’s 1923 Ithaca Flues double barrel shotgun. They worked great with no issues. Great for older guns.

    Perfect for my early FN Browning Auto 16ga. Ammo ran great. Thanks for making a produce that keeps these old guns running.

    Good website presentation and function, good price and quick and fair shipping. The product arrived well packaged. The shell boxes looked old and were beat up to the point of failure, but the ammo looks excellent.
