Ever fired Aguila Minishells out of a Perazzi? Well, American Rifleman's Mark Keefe did just that at clays with world champ clays competitor Derrick Mein. The 1 3/4"-long shells have 5/8 ozs. of No. 7 1/2s, and they are great for short range clays, especially when introducing new shooters to the shotgun sports. And let's face it, they are just cute. While you can really stack them up in a tubular magazine, they are great for low-recoil practice with a $10,000 over-under, too.
